Plutus, Haskell, Nix, Purescript, Swift/Kotlin. laser-focused on FP: formality, purity, and totality; repulsed by pragmatic, unsafe, “move fast and break things” approaches

  • I started a fork of Lemmy geared toward inventory called Lemventory. I’m currently attempting to achieve dev/build tooling parity in Nix before I even touch a single line of their code. But that’s just my idiosyncratic way…anyone who actually knows rust and has their tooling ready could jump in and my Nix stuff wouldn’t get in the way.

    If you’re interested, it’ll probably be a pretty simple rewrite at first. So, you could branch my fork and explore the conversions that would need to be made to enable it if you want.





  • Here’s the gist of my idea so far:

    stores (or alliances of stores in similar industries) :: instances

    inventory items :: posts

    counts :: votes

    item categories (or entire stores depend on implementation) :: communities

    moderators are only allowed to post items to their own community or instance.

    comments can still exist (perhaps as item reviews with the same upvote/downvote mechanic).

    No actual transactions would be processed over this protocol. It would be solely for inventory broadcast/aggregation (like Shopify in that it houses the inventory of many vendors except without the transaction ability built-in since pub-sub is horrible for that kind of thing).

    Edit: if you have any opinions (even “what a stupid idea!”) I’d be open to them. I haven’t even written a single line of code yet and it’s a fresh idea in my head waiting to be shot down by someone less idealistic than myself.



    • switched to a split ergonomic mechanical keyboard
    • working on a fork of Lemmy geared toward inventory called “Lemventory”
    • moderating multiple Lemmy communities that are basically ghost towns (and I don’t care)
    • got rid of my Instagram (and all centralized forms of social media except YouTube) and replaced it with Pixelfed and others
    • letting my NixOS flag fly much more regularly now
    • hexbear defederation only created a Streisand Effect and piqued my curiosity about Marxism. I’m now much better educated about it have come to conclude that lemmy.world is basically filled with tech bro hive-mind blue maga chuds that have a boner for censorship and American exceptionalism.
