💭 user programmable experiences
—
tl:dr - every app should be hackable
a big promise of the web has always been that it’s “open”; the dream was that you’d be able to layer on your own stylesheets to customise ux, use rss feeds and consume content in your own reader, even use tools to layer on userscripts on to web pages for custom behaviour. with sandboxes and isolated compute, we finally have the ability to go even deeper and customise the entire application layer on the server. there exists a future where every website/app/portal gives you hooks to modify the entire stack and create wildly customisable experiences, sometimes ephemeral and optionally permanent. you can create a personal portfolio of auto generated UIs (shareable!) for every single domain. every app can build itself in real time, just in time. I’m very excited about this. I only hope we have the guts to seize the opportunity and demand it from content providers.
