Karsten Schmidt<p>Tomodashi's (<span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://dialup.cafe/@vga256" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>vga256</span></a></span>) design philosophy so much resonates with my own, even if my reality/interests and having roots in different social &amp; technological environments/communities sometimes still causes friction/confusion/dilution of principles — it's all a process, an ongoing dismantling &amp; rebuilding, and the path has become more clear over the past 5-10 years... thi.ng plays a major part (and stepping stones) for me in that context and very much shares the same principles laid out further below.</p><p><a href="https://tomodashi.com/philosophy" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">tomodashi.com/philosophy</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>"The sub-Arctic regions of the Canadian Northwest Territories have many communities of fishers, hunters and trappers who live off the land with simple and effective tools. When technology breaks down in the north, there isn't a tech support number to call, or dealership or mechanic to take it to. You're on your own.</p><p>This encourages you to care for your tools, and make repairs using whatever knowledge and resources you have on hand. People who live on the land only take with them what they can maintain, upgrade and repair themselves. Big, complex, fragile, expensive, high-performance, high-maintenance stuff is left at drydock.</p><p>The elders of the far north teach us that these human-sized and human-shaped tools are extensions of who we are. To care for one's tools is to care for one's community, and oneself. These are not separate things.</p><p>That is the key to the Tomodashi design philosophy.</p><p>Principles</p><p>All Tomodashi software is crafted with these four related ideas in mind:</p><p>1. Human-sized things are friendlier, more economical, and easier to learn.<br>2. The user is both a creator of things and a playful being.<br>3. Let people personalize, modify, and repair their toys and tools.<br>4. Imperfect creations feel more human, serene and beautiful.</p><p>When human qualities and self-expression become the focus of software engineering - whether it's a game or a programming tool or an IDE - all other arguments about programming and software design become moot"</p><p>❤️❤️❤️</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/Technology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Technology</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/SoftwareCraft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SoftwareCraft</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/HumanCentredDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HumanCentredDesign</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/ThingUmbrella" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ThingUmbrella</span></a></p>

Karsten Schmidt<p><a href="https://thi.ng/umbrella" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">thi.ng/umbrella</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> 2024 summary</p><p>Next month <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/ThingUmbrella" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ThingUmbrella</span></a> will be already 7 years old (in its current monorepo form) and thi.ng itself turn 14 — a true teenager! 😱</p><p>2024 has been a year of a lot of maintenance and the first year in a while, in which I got to put so many of these tools &amp; libraries to work on the development of several other new (and ongoing) projects (incl. some still unannounced ones). Considering the vastly different usage contexts, each time this is also a demonstration (to myself) of just how powerful, adaptable and _composable_ many of these libraries are, and I wish I'd be able to better communicate these aspects to other people...</p><p>My deepest thanks and gratitude to my amazing supporters/sponsors, who've been enabling me to continue this work, to expand on it and actively maintain it! Some of you already for years! Love you, people — Your support means the world to these projects (and to me)! And even though I'm still a far way from being able to work fulltime on all these projects, and also had to take on some consulting work this year, I too have been trying my best to work on thi.ng projects every day this year (and almost succeeded)...</p><p>Super special thanks go out to: <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://cosocial.ca/@avi" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>avi</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@made" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>made</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.world/@Yura" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>Yura</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://genart.social/@robertoranon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>robertoranon</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://genart.social/@jeffpalmer" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>jeffpalmer</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://indieweb.social/@alesroubicek" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>alesroubicek</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://techhub.social/@slowdownitsfine" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>slowdownitsfine</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://hachyderm.io/@latrokles" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>latrokles</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@rc101" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>rc101</span></a></span> and others...
