@HoliumCorp Very similar to what @ajlamarc has been up to with Philips hue, @mopfelwinrux and @NativePlanetIO have been aiming towards:
I enjoy my connected home. I like my wifi mesh network with built in speakers. But I want it to be my voice assistant, my ai, my urbit home.
Realm is not like Discord
Realm is not like Metamask
Realm is not like Windows nor macOS
Realm is not like Zoom, nor Telegram, nor Whatsapp
It is not like any of these things, but because it is so new, you can only understand it using these things.

@tocwex@nameloceroom@urbit Also may have not been very clear grammatically speaking. I find your thread far more comprehensive & descriptive than anything I've seen out there- totally commendable. You get a⭐️
@tocwex@_dalten@QuartusCo@SafePen @vinneycavallo I'm realizing this is from Feb 8, but %radio by @AssemblyCap is the best app I've interacted with yet. Chat over video stream.
Also just built-in audio chats in rooms through Realm- absolutely out of this world. Can't wait until they pull off more than 6 participants.

This is also helpful, but this thread adds more detail than the devs used to describe their apps. Totally agree, apps are few and far between.
BUT they forgot %radio!
Routing audio from %radio by @AssemblyCap through a room by @HoliumCorp. 2 planets, 2 Realms (Mac/PC), hosted on @NativePlanetIO's Groundseg (installed on NUC bottom right). I might just %blog about it, @dachus_tiprel
@urbit is captivating more of my time these days. Keep it up!
@balajis Seriously, please just use Urbit. It can be buggy, and it's not fully featured yet... but it's building the internet from the ground up. And it's yours. It's the most exciting thing being built right now.
@dachus_tiprel @viennahypertext I think @marsreviewer has done a phenomenal job bringing the creative non-dev tech savvy intellectuals. That particular type of individual is how you create a culture shift in urbit's favor.
@dachus_tiprel @viennahypertext But nothing should feel more rewarding than the experience owning your own planet.
As a non-developer, creative biz dev, 70% of my enjoyment is the sigil/unique planet name, 30% is the mental explosion from eliminating the middle man in fully p2p networking.
