Today is a wonderful day to remember one of our DWeb Principles:
> We stand for people having agency over their own data and relationships, rights to free expression, privacy, and knowledge, as these are essential to human empowerment and dignity.
Let’s remember and claim our rights as humans, as workers, as technologists.
Happy May Day!
100+ websites are now published on the #DWeb with @distributedpress! Congrats!
Join the endeavor towards making the Web beautiful again — open, uncensorable, and free — just like it used to be

How do we build the digital commons of tomorrow?
Watch the recording of last week’s DWeb Meetup Bay Area!
I'm developing a demo app to be called #Winsome to show how to use my #dweb #RESTful APIs for the decentralised #Autonomi network.
I struggle with raw HTML, CSS & JS and am much happier with Svelte but this is going to be an app in a single HTML file so it's taken a while but the hard part is done!
Thinking about next steps has clarified what else I need in the #REST API and how to provide a neat security model for p2p web apps!
I do love code!
I've been lax at updates to the dweb REST API which now supports most #Autonomi data types.
Web apps can POST/GET immutable data such as files and Archives (public and private), do multipart uploads of file(s), POST/PUT/GET Pointers (mutable references to other types) and POST/PUT/GET Scratchpads which are mutable storage for encrypted or public data.
To view #dweb #REST APIs:
- get rust
- cargo install dweb-cli
- dweb serve
In another terminal:
- dweb openapi-docs
@radicle looks like an interesting Free Software to check out: it’s a peer-to-peer, local-first git forge for the decentralized Web!
