But that's what a Hub is today. Having played with mine in one form or another since 2013, I have more than a few ideas about its future.

Tomorrow's Hub

Cards are made to be shared, and Hubs - as their name implies - are designed to be connected.

The tools I want to create (both the myhub platform, and the local-first alternatives) should allow users to create a wide variety of ATmosphere-connected sites, not just Hubs. As set out in those January 2023 manifesto posts, that means connecting these sites in three different ways:

  • connect each site to its Editor's thinking and writing tool
  • connect all sites (and their Editors, and their thinking tools) to each other and other ATmosphere apps
  • (possibly - speculative) connect these sites and thinking tools to AI services to improve creativity and improve discovery.

The first two are explored in the next sections, along with a summary State of Play. There are also a couple of other key features required for Hub monetisation, explored in "Business model", after that.
