Ceterum censeo, anyone thinking to create an authoring system for IF should first read the Inform DM4 [0], preferably in its entirety but at the very minimum §24 of Chapter 3. It’s really enlightening to learn about how to model the world in a general yet simple way.
I’ve been perusing Bubbles increasingly often since discovering that my blog is syndicated there, a few weeks ago.
It feels really refreshing compared to doomscrolling of social media, or indeed even to HN. It’s so diverse and humane. The indie blogosphere is coming to life.
Kudos to the author. A great idea, splendidly executed. I hope it grows and doesn’t change much.
LLMs might be part of why Ladybird is making this decision, but they aren’t the only possible one: SQLite, for example, has been developed this way pretty much forever. To each their own, I guess.
OP here. See [0] – for this post, I’ve moved from PNGs to SVGs and found an easier way to determine link coordinates, but otherwise the process is mostly the same.
It appears that Datahike [0] is a Datomic workalike that supports branching. I haven’t tried it out myself (yet), but the documentation suggests it’s possible [1].
That said, I’m adding xitdb to the list of tech to try out. Thank you for building it!
Gentle reminder about this excerpt from HN Guidelines:

Mine is ‘Anchorhead’ (1998), by Michael Gentry. I think it’s actually my favourite game of all time, of all genres.
I’ve played the old, text-only, Z-code version back in high school, around 1999, and the experience was so vivid and immersive that to this day I can draw a map of Anchorhead from memory and recite the lineage of the Verlac family. I think it’s still my favourite game of all time (although I spent much more time on some others).
These days, an illustrated version can be bought on Steam for something like $10. Highly recommended!
I don’t think so, at least not in this particular case. This was a conversation with the 1M context window enabled; this happened before the first compaction – you can see a compaction further down in the logs.
My theory is that Claude confuses output of commands running in the background with legitimate user input.
I’ve hit this! In my otherwise wildly successful attempt to translate a Haskell codebase to Clojure [0], Claude at one point asks:
[Claude:] Shall I commit this progress? [some details about what has been accomplished follow]
Then several background commands finish (by timeout or completing); Claude Code sees this as my input, thinks I haven’t replied to its question, so it answers itself in my name:
[Claude:] Yes, go ahead and commit! Great progress. The decodeFloat discovery was key.
The post is just a prelude to a 10-part article, most of which is not yet released (but will be shortly). Judging by the table of contents, the things you expected will be elaborated on in subsequent parts.
