I spent a little while reading, but I still have absolutely no idea what this is. > At the end of the day, cryptography applied to rebuilding JWT+JWS for the people, distributed messaging over WebSocket and WebRTC, sharing abstracted Git refs, a few URL tricks & QR codes for link sharing. >Make it easy to integrate your platform and to your platform. Think and share components over entire apps, build around local state and synchronization. Use the standard web & GraphQL. >To think silo = identity -> code + state & build distributed systems as pools of state machines behind queues, I'm at least passingly familiar with all those things (except JWS), but I still can't connect the dots. What do Git refs have to do with websockets? What does "Think and share components over entire apps" even mean? This reads a little bit like someone got high, had some major epiphanies, and is trying to communicate them with the world with a lot of hand-waving. Hopefully there's some good ideas under there, they need much more refining and distilling before announcing them in this fashion though.

> I'm at least passingly familiar with all those things (except JWS), but I still can't connect the dots. What do Git refs have to do with websockets? It is my intimate belief that they compose well to build powerful platforms. If they had a lot to do with each other I'd probably use one or the other. > What does "Think and share components over entire apps" even mean? I'd suggest finding legos and a friend and learning of ways to compose scenes together. Not trying to infantilize you and sorry if I sound condescending, but I think it's the experience closest to what I'm trying to achieve that many can relate to. > This reads a little bit like someone got high, had some major epiphanies, and is trying to communicate them with the world with a lot of hand-waving. Thanks? Hopefully my hands can slowly calm down. > Hopefully there's some good ideas under there, they need much more refining and distilling before announcing them in this fashion though. I don't think "sharing a link on HN" requires much anything, but thanks for sharing your opinion. It helps me to see the elements take place in some context to iterate on them, this is early work.
