⚠️PLEASE BOOST⚠️ Do you want a better Internet? Help the people who make it happen!

@[email protected] co-authored #ActivityPub, the protocol that makes Mastodon happen. It's what allows different Fediverse instances to talk to each other, preventing another Elon Musk from happening.

Now she's building @[email protected], a FOSS distributed programming platform. The mission: social media done right.

The ambition of @[email protected]: enable the creation of peer-to-peer, gatekeeper-free community-run networks and social spaces for everyone.

Here's a tour of the tech. #DonateFriday https://spritely.institute/news/blast-off-spritely-institutes-tech-tour.html

Blast off! A tour of Spritely Institute's tech -- Spritely Institute

Spritely Networked Communities Institute
What makes @[email protected] such revolutionary tech is the concept of "Goblins": a distributed object programming environment. Spritely Goblins' network layer means users can perform asynchronous programming against objects that live anywhere. #DonateFriday https://spritely.institute/goblins/
Goblins: Distributed Programming — Spritely Institute

Here's a demo of a chat app written with Goblins distributed programming features. What @[email protected] and @[email protected] are building isn't faraway into the future, much of this is happening now!

Some interesting things happening here:

* The two participants are speaking over a peer to peer network
* Communication is end-to-end encrypted
* The entire chat app is written in a mere 154 lines of code

This could be huge! #DonateFriday

Here's a white paper written all about @[email protected] and how it all works. #DonateFriday https://spritely.institute/static/papers/spritely-core.html

I think it's ironic that once you setup your monthly contribution to Spritely you get all these cute icons to boost your contribution... On FB, FB messenger, Whatsapp, and Twitter.
But not on Mastodon 🤣
