groundmist

This note takes as background How putting myhub.ai on the ATmosphere will help decentralised collective intelligence, which I originally wanted to discuss at Ahoy25 in Hamburg but retracted as Boris had a similar idea but at a more general (and so useful imo) level.

In the run up to Ahoy Boris pointed me to Groundmist, and in the aftermath I read the 3 posts (my notes are on my Hub). So now I:

• would like to ensure I understand this right
• and if I do, have a few questions

Did I get this right?

With Groundmist:

• We can have a local app that manages content stored locally on a Personal Synch Server
• This content can be organised using a variety of lexicons
• Using the app to set a property of some content to "publish" sends (copies?) of the content to the PDS, from where it is published onto the appropriate appview, depending on the lexicon
  !

So could we have...

So could the app:

• have an Inbox which
  • is a bluesky client, so the user has bluesky integrated into the app
  • reads RSS, so the user can follow many other information sources
  • maybe even reads email, so the user can have the content of the newsletters they subscribe to straight in the app
• allow the user to grab some content from the above feeds and add it to their PSS?
• have a tool4thought built in, and/or could the PSS be readable/editable by a tool4thought (Obsidian, etc.)?

!

I ask because if this is possible, then it should be possible to build an ecosystem of networked content pipelines in the ATmosphere, as set out in the abovementioned post.

Of CMSs and Lexicons

One of the places PDS content is published in the above picture is "Personal site". This is a large category - there are blogs, newsletter sites, digital gardens, etc.

So:

• Where are the CMSs in this picture? I get that these sites pull their data from the PDS, but where is the software (Jekyll, Drupal) that organises it online?
• Will each type of site need a different lexicon? Most sites need multiple content types, so does that mean multiple lexicons per site?

Final (first) questions

• Are these ideas interesting to you?
• What other ideas are there?
• What is needed to make these ideas a reality?
• How can we work together to make that happen?
