Terence EdenI did the `human.json` thing!
If you're a blogger who I've met in person, and you're not using AI or LLMs for your content, let me know and I'll add you to my list.
Gustavo@Edent The design is human.
Meme aside, yeah, I find it weird the use of JSON (which many people say is more machine-friendly than human-friendly) for that. Reminds me of https://humanstxt.org/, that uses .txt which seems more human-friendly.
Also, the "web" thing reminds me a bit of Keybase/Keyoxide. I hope it's not a case of missing research of existent work. Reminds me of this https://fliptomato.wordpress.com/2007/03/19/medical-researcher-discovers-integration-gets-75-citations/. I wonder if this could be proposed as an extension of one the earlier projects…
@qgustavor feel free to suggest that in the site's repo.
Andy Piper@qgustavor @Edent I had a go at contacting the humans.txt folks last year I think (maybe a bit before that), suggesting it was an idea whose time had come, but it was all very quiet there. Interested to see the human.json idea develop.
@andypiper @Edent I guess my main issue with the idea is that I don't like editing JSON files. I blame Crockford for not allowing comments. It could be JSON5 at least...
But FOSS collaboration is like that, it's how we got a file system API that allows streaming files to disk but doesn't allow streaming files to the download folder because Google singlehandedly made the API and everyone else rejected it as it looked unsafe as hell, and a speech recognition API that only works for searching, you can't use for voice control.
