CFP — File > Protocol > App: How a Note‑Taking Habit Became a Voice I Own
A conference talk proposal by Julien Calixte. Working draft.
For years I was the child in the room — agreeing with everyone, able to counter no one. So I started taking notes, and slowly my voice counted. This is the story of how a 5‑year, 800‑note private garden became a public voice I own — 52 notes and counting, published to the AT Protocol instead of a platform.
Abstract
We all keep notes; far fewer publish them — because going public usually means renting your voice from a platform that owns your content, your identity, and your audience. I'll tell the story of turning a five‑year, 800‑note habit into a public blog I own, on the AT Protocol. The thesis is a hierarchy: File > Protocol > App. Your files outlive apps (Steph Ango); a protocol turns them into a social filesystem (Dan Abramov); the app is just a lens.
