Thanks for everyone last night who made it out to the first #localfirst meetup in #DC! There was a lot of good conversations and we well exceeded the time at location!

We would like to make this a community led event, so please comment or let me know what we can do to make this more engaging! I think this format works out maybe one of three types of events, the other two can can be a mini conference or a demo day!

Thanks for everyone making it out, we will work to make more happen in the short term (after some planning today). please provide any insight or ideas going forward!

I think if you are going to get rich quick scheme things, you need to at least convince me that you've spent the time to make this not vibe coded. In fact id rather it look web 2.0 and work like a charm.

An interesting concept on communities in tech is how vibey and intimate the conference are versus each other (based on my own experience) S Tier: LocalFirst A Tier: React Summit JS B Tier: Supabase C/D TIER: Govcon: ACT IAC, NCMA F Tier: Crypto/ Blockchain

@shupp.dev

1) Is everyone there for mission and based on shared principles or products used? 2) Are people just trying to get rich off ideas or sell to others? 3) are the people there to learn something new from others 4) are the best conversations happening in events between conference?

Into the void #2: per usual Simpsons are excellent at capturing glimpses of the future. Homer building a car is essentially everyone building a digital product. But I'll even take this a step further and say its Boris and Clause Code coming in the strongest. Take all ideas and go wild...

Into the void #1: my take originally 2022 that Sam Altman was doomed to be Tom from MySpace. Now part of me sinxe 2025 thinks he more of a Adam Neumann figure.

Alright Codex... been anti OpenAI but they let you use opencode and hermes and fireworks OSS calls are getting more expensive than codex pro

Just built a multi-brand, multi-platform social media dispatcher. One system, seven platforms, AI-generated content per brand. Shipping fast. #buildinginpublic

Building AI agents that call brokers, collect CRE comp data, and self-heal when things break. The orchestrator is alive. #buildinginpublic

The only way to get rid of the Euros before I left Europe.. otherwise would have to go to NYC. The infamous snoopy watch

Its unreal. Ive been on telegram for 6 hours building the self improving agent using itself and its getting better. Ive gotten it to send me emails when it requires a human or super admin action, followed up with an escalation (even emailing myself)

Hermes @nousresearch.com is blowing my mind. I setup a lightsail AWS server with Hermes and a telegram to talk to my bots. Using my phone and wifi, I am setting up orchestration bots and chron jobs... I repeat I am setting up chronic jobs from my phone using airplane wifi lmaooo

Super excited about this year, its very much community day with all these topics provided when they did their request for speakers. Excited to hear where the community is after we last left off

Adam Wiggins@adamwiggins.com

Full speaker list is live. Really happy with the breadth of topics this year! Local models, game development, homelab setups, open social protocols... plus the classics like malleable software, sync, and tools for thought. This community keeps me optimistic about user empowerment in computing ❤️

Audiophiles Can't Distinguish Audio Sent Through Copper, Banana or Mud | Discussion

I just had a Eureka moment driving on the road I wanted to update my website so I opened up Claude just realized Claude code is on my phone and used audio to write a merge request and that just blew my mind.

@adamwathan.com hey just read the article on tailwinds. I think the OSS landscape changes Tailwinds could benefit from a Unreal Engine type licensing deal. I don't know how that looks but unless we create a 1500s benefactor system where OpenAI,Google and Anthropic gives Tailwinds 2M annual...

Crazy how much exposure I got on Youtube Shorts. I am still adamantly opposed to the dangers of short-format videos especially to growing children and adults but in terms of hooks and curb appeal/showing topics quickly I can't argue effectiveness. Anyways... here is episode ii.

(1 of 1) I did however already get some emails about it and have some potential for first guest on show, as well as really interesting conversation topics.
