@teohhanhui@mastodon.social I've been playing with #activitypub ideas in https://codeberg.org/cmars/medina recently (very incomplete and slightly incoherent rough sketch). I had this idea of a hub or relay where the identities are moderated but the clients own their keys and data in a portable #sqlite db which could be hosted by an instance or relayed. Exploring that balance between moderation and autonomy. I'm also testing some of these ideas with #veilid in another project that I haven't shared yet.
Looks like you're using #iroh which I haven't tried yet. It's hard for me to commit to side-projects right now, but very interested to see how your project goes!

@cmars@infosec.exchange What I have in mind (for now): * HTTP gateway for server-to-server federation (unfortunate but necessary) * Nodes are ~~clients~~ (actually servers? idk...) * All of them join in a gossip swarm * CRDT to sync state * Identity is just ed25519 key, so you could share the same identity across multiple nodes that you control * WebFinger unfortunately requires centralization - from what I understand, "petnames" avoid this problem: https://files.spritely.institute/papers/petnames.html
