Looks good. But a native application? I would only install a native application if it comes from a source that has a proven trackrecord of being trustworthy.
Can you track how many people installed it, now that it is on HN?
You say it puts everyone on "one single universe with the same content". So it should be easy to put up an instance that provides a web interface to the content, right?
I would think that posting via the browser should also be possible without relying on a single server / authority. A user could hold a private key which they use to sign their posts. And then deliver the post via any server that offers an interface for it. Similar to how a Bitcoin transaction can be delivered via any server that offers such a service.
So it would still be decentralized but can be used via the browser.
- rolleiflex 8y agoYes I can, because this is a developer preview version, and it has anonymous metrics in. Stable versions are going to ask in the onboarding if you want to join the anonymous metrics program (like Firefox). Yes it would be easy - that would just be an another node that showed it’s read-only UI on the web. (You still need to mint proofs of work, so you would need an actual computer for posting.)
- guachesuedehack 8y agois it open sourced ?
- the_clarence 8y agoWhat’s the proof of work? Is it something common to protect p2p network from spam?
- balladeer 8y agoIt's not a native application. It's an Electron app. By the way it doesn't ask for an elevated permission.
