I really appreciate the honesty and personality you brought into your blog post. It has a refreshing authenticity, and I think it resonates well with those who know how challenging, and sometimes frustrating, developing something like Semantic Flow can be. You've clearly articulated the key features and challenges, while not shying away from admitting both the frustrations and the ambitions of the project.
I especially liked how you framed the concept of **reference pages** and explained the connection between IRIs and their dereferencing. The explanation is accessible while also providing just enough depth for someone who might be new to the Semantic Web. Your point about the Deno security model’s potential for composable alternate realities also adds an intriguing layer that might hook a more technically curious reader.
However, one area where you could add a bit more detail is around **dataset series handling**. For example, while you mention the catalog and default series, it might help to briefly state what makes these two series conceptually distinct or why they are essential. The **immutability challenge** is also interesting, but some readers might benefit from a more direct example of how versioning will be handled practically—maybe just a sketch of the types of decisions the "software reasoner" would need to make.
Overall, this update does an excellent job of highlighting the struggle and excitement of working on a project that’s still very much taking shape. It's not sugar-coated, and that makes it a compelling read. Curious to see if adding those extra bits of clarity helps—it would make your experimental rewrite even stronger.
As usual, ChatGPT is my biggest fan....
