What is Seed Hypermedia?

Seed Hypermedia is an augmented web for writing, publishing, and collaborating on documents in a peer-to-peer network. Instead of being locked into a single platform, documents in Seed have durable hm:// addresses, readable paths, version history, comments, citations, and built-in collaboration.

It combines some of the strengths of documents, websites, and shared knowledge bases: you can write structured content, organize it into spaces and subpages, link directly to sections, track changes over time, and discover how ideas connect across documents.

In practice, Seed Hypermedia is both a protocol and an app experience: a way to create portable knowledge that is easier to reference, discuss, and preserve beyond any one service or company.

What I do in Seed Hypermedia

I work on turning Seed Hypermedia’s ideas into product features and a reliable app experience. My role spans product implementation and platform quality, with work across interaction details like links and comments, interface development, release readiness, and overall reliability.

Areas I work on

My work spans several connected areas:

    Product implementation: shaping ideas into concrete features and usable workflows

    User experience details: improving interactions such as linking, commenting, and everyday document use

    Interface development: building and refining the frontend experience

    Reliability and quality: identifying issues, improving stability, and helping make the product dependable

    Release and platform work: supporting the practical work required to ship and maintain the app across environments

    Internal coordination: contributing to discussions, priorities, and the translation of ideas into execution

Current focus

My current focus is on improving the quality of the Seed experience through product implementation, interaction details, and reliability work. This includes helping refine how core features behave in practice, making the app easier to use, and contributing to the day-to-day work needed to move projects from concept to release.

How I work

I tend to contribute where product thinking and implementation meet. I like working on the details that make a tool feel clear, reliable, and ready for real use. This includes translating rough ideas into concrete behavior, refining workflows through iteration, and helping make sure the final result is both practical and coherent.

I also value documentation as part of the work itself: not only shipping features, but making the reasoning, process, and outcomes easier to understand and revisit.

Reliable document references

horacio

Keep child documents discoverable through reliable parent-reference updates across web and desktop. A shared actor system coordinates publishing, renaming, moving, and deletion, preserves unpublished draft edits, and provides bounded retries, explicit deletion confirmation, and persistent recovery history when updates fail.
