My goal with writing is generally to move things out of my head in the shape that they existed in my head. If it's useful but too long, I trust other people to pick what they find valuable, riff on it, and so on.

You can skip to the end of the article where I do a few demos: https://overreacted.io/a-social-filesystem/#up-in-the-atmosp.... I suggest a file manager there:

>Open https://pdsls.dev. [...] It’s really like an old school file manager, except for the social stuff.

And yes, the paradigm is essentially "everyone is a scraper".

This was a great article. Have you got any thoughts on Farcaster and its Snapchain?

fwiw, I don't agree. These detailed articles are excellent.

Thanks! I saved a link to pdsls. I think there's room for improvement in making the UI user-friendly; maybe I'll try it someday.
