After a year:
- I would call this the “UI-Component Communication-Framework”.
- They call it “Block Protocol” for marketing reasons.
- They develop it for commercial purposes, not to improve the web.
- Almost like OpenAI is not open.
-
Protocols are very important, but:
- we already have many (and even more frameworks)
- developers care, but users don’t
- Compared to components (any component, not just UI), Logseq’s blocks are:
- more fundamental
- should consider standards at this level
- less composable
- We can embed one block to another, but not much more.
- It doesn’t have to be like that:
- A sub-block could be much more than a child-block.
- There is much room for innovation in this direction.
- more fundamental
