Social Components

What if social products were remixable?Imagine you could take a social product and break it its user interface into pieces. Then imagine that you, or anyone else, could recombine those pieces in different ways, swap things out, composing and remixing experiences made and hosted by different people.We already know a way to compose UI: Components. However, we didn't have a way to compose components across products. Atmosphere gives us that way: lexicons define component contracts, records point at the endpoints, everyone uses the same data.So let's put components on the protocol! In this talk, Dan will present Inlay—an experimental browser for remixable cross-product server-driven user interfaces on the Atmosphere. You can think of it as "React for atproto" or like "HyperCard for social".Whether it's a terrible idea or a glimpse of a post-app future remains to be seen.---(Demo teaser: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:fpruhuo22xkm5o7ttr2ktxdo/post/3mdjhy2bofk2h)
