What's this app? / Welcome to the commons
Scuttlebutt is a digital commons - unlike services run by companies where the database is closed and sold for profit, the public content here is open data. This small difference means developers can make apps where your identity, friends, and messages are the same, but the interface can look totally different.
We deliberatly build different apps because we believe the most resilient and prosperous system is an ecosystem with diversity. It's also a really exciting space to design in - you don't have to make one style that kind of works for everyone, you can make different styles which work excellently for different use cases ... AND they can all play together!
But this isn't just about css and page layout. Different apps can reveal different parts of this rich commons.
Things Patchbay gives you access to which Patchwork doesn't (yet) :
- chess (you can't see it but there is a park where friends are hanging out playing chess right now)
- book reviews
- git (code management) ... I think this is currently broken
Patchbay is highly experimental
If you'd like to have a go building something and including it in a client, this is a great place to try it out. This app embraces new ideas, and some of the best ones propogate to other apps (this is true in both directions).
Patchbay has (vimmy) keyboard shortcuts ... I'll write them up sometime!
Contributors
Patchbay was originally built by @dominic. I took over maintenance, and refactored it to use patchcore (which was made mainly by @matt and @mikey). It's since had a lot of awesome plugins and contributions from @happy0 @piet @arj @cel and @dangerousbeans (and likely others !)
