addressable content blocks are the new something something
pity it’s still too hard to make a global address-space and embedding model for them... needs standardization somewhere between ’s open anything-goes content pipes and internal standard

I’m sticking with WP Gutenberg blocks as my main experiment right now, but they’re a dead end. Can export json but not addressable, embeddable etc.
What we need is actually content-centric networking like the old PARC idea. Compute address hash out of content, let it run wild.

What I’d really like to do is publish my stuff as a pipeline of addressable blocks with permissions and perhaps license fees attached as a repo. Anyone can use as building blocks. Wanna get into the b2b content intermediates market and eventually retreat from content last mile

People like (custom semweb) and (open transcludes) are rolling their own things a few steps ahead of the commercial product wavefront but I lack both the skills and energy to roll my own ideal infrastructure

I smell an upcoming deep restructuring of online content game from vertically integrated to horizontal. Twitter did the unbundling stage, but the rebundling stage cannot work without globally addressable content-centric networking at block level.

The real Hypercard/Xanadu/Memex is already here, it’s just unevenly distributed

What would be ideal, I think, is if all information could be represented as "cards", and all cards could be easily threaded. Every book, every blogpost, every video, even songs, etc - all could be represented as "threaded cards". Some cards more valuable than others
