🧵 The AT Protocol shows the power of a personal data store. All of our public atproto data is easy to find and access. We can interact with it flexibly in myriad ways and combinations.

Wouldn't it be nice to do the same for our private and collaborative data? 👇
1/ Had a great time on the ZK podcast chatting about local-first and emerging use cases for programmable cryptography (ZK, HE, MPC) with @goblinoats.com @arro.bsky.social @nicomnbl.bsky.social . I'm excited for more exploration here & I'd love to hear ideas from both local-first & prog crypto worlds
The ZK Podcast released an episode on local-first software this week!

@arro.bsky.social and @nicomnbl.bsky.social chat w @grjte.sh & @goblinoats.com about the foundations of local-first architecture, CRDTs and how ZK can be incorporated into these models.

📝 new blog post! i spent a while looking into homomorphically encrypted CRDTs. spoiler alert: they don’t work super well!

(but you should still check it out — i break down what homomorphic encryption is and how it works, and there are lots of explorable explanations along the way!)

We built the DMs we wish existed: a messenger that lets you share what you want people to know, and nothing else.

But what if you wanted them to know…your ATProto handle? 🤯

I've been working on a network-local ATProtocol dev environment that gives me end-to-end production functionality for Smoke Signal, including handle resolution and repository access. Here’s how I put it together. 🧵

🧵 The AT Protocol (atproto), which underlies Bluesky, lets us to interface with the same data in as many ways as we can conceive of through AppViews that each provide a different "view" of the network.

Can we make our local-first software as interoperable as the AT Protocol? 👇

🧵 I've been experimenting with combining local-first software and the AT Protocol (atproto) to play with the design space of apps that live at both ends of the privacy spectrum - maximally private AND maximally public, without some of the downsides of the modern web. 

Why? 👇
