-Aaaaah summer feels today. Bugs all buzzing and
+I am in a few discussions for exploring some things in the open social web. Details can come later as they become more concrete.
-All the darkness are fading and people who lived most of their lives in the tropics but emigrated to less sunny places become friendlier and nicer.
+Soft launch of my own newsletter is up on the canary version of my blog: https://main.ayos.blog/subscribe -- because email is the first decentralized social platform. Let's explore that idea more in the coming months.
-BUT NOT ME! 😡
+I'm also back on my webcomponents main arc, after some side quests in self-hosting & machine learning.
