Fork this
From spreading ideas to transforming them
The share button changed how ideas spread. But seventeen years after that icon first appeared, we're still just passing things around. Every retweet, every forward, every viral moment—it's all just distribution. The content stays the same, even as it moves.
Something bigger is coming: the power to fork any digital experience into what you need. Not through code or APIs, but through a button that makes every interface composable.
Three technologies are converging. Large language models now translate human intent into precise changes. The Model Context Protocol will enable seamless data flow between apps. Larger context windows let AI grasp and modify entire systems at once. Together, they'll transform the internet.
Early signs: Notion templates launch complete workflows in a click. Replit lets anyone instantly fork entire coding environments. Glitch users remix web apps without touching code. Each points toward a future where digital experiences become starting points, not endpoints.
This will redefine how we build. Instead of shipping finished products, companies will offer intelligent infrastructure designed for forking. We'll bring personal prompts to reshape AI tools. The best products won't be polished, they'll be adaptable. Success will belong to those creating the most forkable foundations.
Just as Git empowered developers to branch and merge code, this new capability lets anyone fork and customize digital experiences. Every app becomes a foundation. Every interface becomes an invitation.
The share button taught us to spread ideas. The fork button will teach us to evolve them.
