If you're curious what this is:
It's a little implementation of a distributed social media system, for now using a local server but will use OrbitDB in the future once I'm more confident in it.
It deserves a whole-ass writeup, but I honestly consider it more proof-of-concept than I do a real thing I feel comfortable people using right now.
So this is Fireweed.
It is a distributed forum / social protocol thing I'm making built around cryptographic identity instead of accounts. It is a proof-of-concept in essence, to prove it can be done.
No usernames as authority. No central database as truth. Just local cryptographic identity. In the future I plan to allow attestation via signing a nonce you can put on a site or something.
Anyway.
Your identity is a keypair. That’s it. That's the pitch. Everything else revolves around that.
