Another test

I wrote this about two months after starting Continuum. (about 1 year ago) Reading it today, it's interesting to see what has changed—and what hasn't. At the time I thought Continuum was primarily a sovereign publishing and identity framework. Today I think of it as something broader: a local-first home for our digital lives. Some ideas were there from the beginning. Others—relationship memory, media libraries, version history, and local AI—didn't emerge until much later. I wouldn't rewrite this article. I think it's valuable as a snapshot of how the project was evolving. View article →

Thank you !! Yes I need to hear this !’ God bless you !

Building Continuum now has its own home. Today I split the Books section of the Continuum website into a true catalog and a dedicated page for Building Continuum. The book now has a place that can grow over time—not just with purchase links, but also companion resources, related articles, and now the new YouTube chapter readings. As the project evolves, this page will become the canonical home for the book itself. One small design detail I particularly like is finally displaying the cover alongside the book instead of treating it as just another link. It's a small change, but it makes the book feel like a first-class artifact rather than just another document. #BuildingContinuum #Continuum #Nostr #LocalFirst

7/3/2026 — Continuum Gets a Media Library Today I added the first version of a Media Library to Continuum. Instead of relying on external image hosts for article assets, Continuum can now upload images directly to my own media service backed by Cloudflare R2. Each image receives a stable URL under my own domain, for example: ```https://media.mycontinuum.xyz/2026/pro/nostr/<npub>/images/...``` The Media Library currently supports: - Uploading images - Automatic safe filenames - Duplicate filename handling - Viewing uploaded images - Copying image URLs - Deleting images - Synchronizing the media index while preserving metadata Image metadata is stored separately in an index.json file, allowing tags and other descriptive information to evolve without changing the underlying storage layout. This is only the first iteration, but it's already proving much more convenient for writing articles. The long-term goal is to support multiple storage backends—including Cloudflare R2, S3, Blossom, and others—behind a common interface so Continuum remains independent of any single media provider. Owning your identity is important. Owning your media is becoming just as important. #Continuum #Nostr #Cloudflare #R2

I published a new article today that explores the question that eventually led me to build Continuum. For years, my digital life felt like a series of visits. Facebook. LinkedIn. X. WhatsApp. Nostr. Each knew a different part of me, but none of them ever felt like home. The article is a short companion to Chapter 1 of Building Continuum. It tells the same story from a different angle and asks a simple question: What if your digital home wasn't an application? Sometimes a five-minute article is enough to introduce an idea. Sometimes it takes a book to explore where that idea leads. #Continuum #LocalFirst #Nostr

logged in to the nostr VM (via nostrhub.io) Very cool @jaredlogan

Spot on !!! This article really laid it all out! Started Continuum on my birthday in 2025 just over 1 year ago. I have written over 900 articles on bitcoin, sovereignty and “ building cathedrals”) on Nostr Published a book (Building Continuum) in March ( before I turned 61) Everything you described in this article I have gone through. But I have no desire to go back This is really important to read. Thank you for sharing !!
