@ragman yeah i am very impatiently waiting for this to become standard! so many possibilities will open once it does.
i have sadly resorted to making a mobile app to explore these possibilities further just to make it compatible with iphones...but would've been so nice to be a PWA and web though and through
@ragman all your experiments & your tutorial is great! I still haven't found a good way to do Android tasks but the NFC tasks app you linked looks promising!
@ragman omg i love it!!! this is so cute
Wrote a new blog post about the NFC Sculptures I've been making over the last couple months!
https://www.ragman.net/musings/nfc_sculptures/
Inspired by @spencerchang 's beautiful Sigil.
These are a cool way to bridge the digital and physical worlds, and I've had a blast making different ones!

@Mirthe oo what e-reader do you have? is the do not disturb part important or do you just like having the pillow rest for your device?

@phil thank you for propagating it 🧡
“The next time you feel hopeless about the Internet, remember that you have the power to co-opt, repurpose, and reprogram software to tell our stories. And then plant a seed of possibility for the Internet you miss and wish for. It might be our best chance at saving it.”
@thomas aw thanks thomas! it's really nice to hear from you. hope everything is well :)
Wrote about "folk programming" or how we repurpose existing software to fit our needs regardless of (& often in spite of) what they're designed for
As platforms shut down, change rules, and harvest data, I wanted to highlight this power we have to fight for the internet we want.
Would love to hear your own stories of folk programming!
