Sessions

The first session of the day was Running your own LLM to get out of big tech. The word was inevitably going to come up, so it was good to hear an indie approach that lets you keep your privacy whilst using it.

The second session was Private posts, which didn’t have a microphone nearby, so it wasn’t recorded.

After a long lunch the third and fourth sessions were about Feeds and Canvas animations. It was good to hear creative talks happening, especially about boring tech like RSS.

The last sessions of the day were Organising data and Homepage design. It turns out nobody really likes their current homepage, which was weirdly reassuring.

Bonus session

I say they were the last sessions, but there was actually a secret session right at the end of the day on How to unblock yourself and actually post more often. There were lots of good ideas mentioned, like Dan’s Polaroids project where he takes and publishes a Polaroid every day.

The one that stuck with me is the idea that you can write a brief summary about something that happened and then hit publish without spending too much time on it.

I’ll be joining in remotely this weekend. I do wish I was there with you all, maybe next time!
