      AI and SAAS

      SaaS will not be replaced outright by probabilistically generated code. The real risk for existing SaaS products is different: they may become a legacy layer. Workflows and collaboration will move elsewhere, while traditional SaaS is reduced to a backend that merely stores structured data and historical context. In that scenario, SaaS becomes part of the old stack—present, but no longer where the work actually happens. That’s our opportunity: we must excel in workflows and collaboration. Many companies pay significant SaaS costs while using only a small fraction of the available features. We can target those high-cost tools and offer a simpler, more attractive alternative focused on what teams actually use. Instead of competing head-on, we treat existing SaaS platforms as legacy data sources. Our interface becomes the primary workspace, backed by our own authoritative data structures, while legacy SaaS systems are read from, written to, or gradually replaced.

      Add the Library to the Top Bar

      I am accessing the Library all the time. It is incredibly frustrating to have to open the Sidebar all the time—a similar bad experience to changing the account. Accessing the Library is a core step in my navigation. It allows me to switch between Knowledge Repositories. Favourites don't help because they lack the Activity information! I don't think we have settled on the name Library. Sometimes feels precise, sometimes not at all, and I would like something like Home. Anyhow, I am happy to keep the name Library until we have a clear alternative. In addition to the core functionality of switching between knowledge repositories and finding new activity, the Library is my space as a knowledge operator. I can see my subscriptions, my favourites, and everything else stored on my node. The node can be my desktop or my server. The dream experience is a place where I can search for or query any argument or block, and create my own lists of content and views to understand a complex problem better. It should be incredibly flexible and powerful. I propose to add a button to the Top Bar. Similar to Google Chrome: And yes i am removing the search button from there and moving it to both the sidebar and the top of the library!

      Email notifications refactor overview

      Email Notifications System Documentation Current User Stories Implementation Receive Email Notifications please read this document with user stories for email notifications. Current Limitations Future Development I think we can bring back the accounts table with a flag to determine if the (accountId, email) entry is a subscription or a linked account to email. -- Add back the accounts table with email linking CREATE TABLE accounts ( accountId TEXT NOT NULL, email TEXT NOT NULL, isAccountLinked BOOLEAN NOT NULL DEFAULT FALSE, createdAt DATETIME NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, notifyMentions BOOLEAN NOT NULL DEFAULT FALSE, notifyReplies BOOLEAN NOT NULL DEFAULT FALSE, notifyDocChanges BOOLEAN NOT NULL DEFAULT FALSE, notifySiteDiscussions BOOLEAN NOT NULL DEFAULT FALSE, PRIMARY KEY (accountId, email) ); The only issue is that email preferences are different for own account and subscriptions. Because of that I would instead propose creating a separate table for linking an account to email. CREATE TABLE email_account_links ( email TEXT NOT NULL, accountId TEXT NOT NULL, createdAt DATETIME NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, notifyMentions BOOLEAN NOT NULL DEFAULT FALSE, notifyReplies BOOLEAN NOT NULL DEFAULT FALSE, notifyDocChanges BOOLEAN NOT NULL DEFAULT FALSE, notifySiteDiscussions BOOLEAN NOT NULL DEFAULT FALSE, PRIMARY KEY (email, accountId) ); And we could add creation of linking tokens to allow verifying the email address in the welcome email. CREATE TABLE email_account_links ( email TEXT NOT NULL, accountId TEXT NOT NULL, linkingToken TEXT UNIQUE NOT NULL, expiresAt DATETIME NOT NULL, isVerified BOOLEAN NOT NULL DEFAULT FALSE, verifiedAt DATETIME, -- NULL until verified notifyMentions BOOLEAN NOT NULL DEFAULT FALSE, notifyReplies BOOLEAN NOT NULL DEFAULT FALSE, notifyDocChanges BOOLEAN NOT NULL DEFAULT FALSE, notifySiteDiscussions BOOLEAN NOT NULL DEFAULT FALSE, PRIMARY KEY (email, accountId) );

      Web Key Linking with Desktop App

      Some time ago we enabled the ability to create Web Crypto keys in the browser on all Seed sites, for users to be able to sign their comments right on the site they are visiting. Previously they were redirected to hyper.media because this was the only place where their identity key lived, as Web Crypto keys are tied to a single domain and can't be shared securely. Now, this creates fragmentation. Essentially you have a separate account on each web site you are commenting on. Our vision for solving has always been the idea of linking your keys. You account is essentially the set of all the keys you have on you different devices and web sites. So during the past few weeks I've been working on implementing key linking. We already used to have to link desktop keys to hyper.media, but it wasn't suitable as-is for multi-origin world we now live in. So, I'll explain some of the changes I did. It All Begins on the Web Linking Instructions Conclusions
