Bonfire Social 1.0 is live! A federated, community‑first social network built on the modular Bonfire toolkit, and it’s only the beginning. Back the “last migration” from closed platforms to open networks: indiegogo.com/projects/bonfi… It's time to go beyond microblogging and build apps for community organising, open science, mutual aid, and collective decision‑making. Let's take back the internet with open protocols, consent‑based governance, and portability by design. 1/2

We’re crowdfunding for maintenance first: the unsexy work funders usually don’t want to support. Our new post explains why care and maintenance are the foundation before we can unlock all the other stretch goals: bonfirenetworks.org/posts/ma… We’re at 74%.

Introducing ElixirPack, and swift-erlang-actor-system github.com/otp-interop #ElixirLang

I'm experimenting with building an agent to build @liveviewnative UIs. Here is the experiment from the weekend. First image is pure SwiftUI. Second image is LiveView Native. #ElixirLang

We're experimenting with federated geosocial features in Bonfire, free from surveillance capitalism. Check into your local community garden. Add location to mutual aid requests. Find tools nearby. Imagine your local #fablab or #community center sharing check-ins, calendars, events, opening hours - all federated. A living hub for what's happening there. 🔧 github.com/bonfire-networks/… This unlocks new possibilities for local organizing, let's explore together 🔥 #commons #platformcoop #P2P

We are thrilled to announce the Bonfire Social 1.0 release candidate techcrunch.com/2025/06/05/bo…

It looks like Apple fixed the compilation bug we found in Xcode 16.3 beta.2, we're testing out beta.3 to confirm. If it's resolved then we can move ahead with releasing 0.4.0 final this upcoming week mostly likely. #ElixirLang

* Donna Haraway on Response-ability and Staying with the Trouble news.secondrenaissance.net/p… Seeds of a Second Renaissance Issue 1 (Feb 2025) - "Haraway makes the case for response-ability – an agentic response to our crises that begins with our entanglement in them. Renouncing ‘human exceptionalism’ and becoming sensitive to others and the more-than-human world. Response-ability starts with our present situation and surroundings; sensing into what’s needed, and preoccupied by neither hope nor despair. Not only do these states limit our connection to the present, but they also limit our agency. Whether we trust blindly that somehow everything will be okay, or believe that we’re doomed, it’s too easy to do nothing. Beyond this paralysis, Haraway invites us to meet troubled reality just as it is, coming face-to-face with loss, death and, importantly, grief."
