This week, a gift idea for the holidays. We release the Willow URI spec. Aljoscha talks about 'Cobweb', a new hypertext system. Sammy announces FOSDEM plans and reflects on announcements. And in Part 4 of "what's with the name?!", we travel back to the Netherlands in 2003.

In this week's comic, Sammy wants something for all the folks who don't use Spotify. We've added a capability system to willow25. Aljoscha adds *playlists* to the site. And there are links, shout-outs, and help wanted!

In this week's comic, Sammy is called from an unexpected location. We announce the Rust implementation of Meadowcap. Aljoscha explores mathematical equality. And we find the missing link between the Dreamcast and Swatch Internet Time.

We’ve added an interactive demo of how Willow works to the Willow Data Model page. You get three toy peers to add entries to and sync between! More fun than boring old ‘reading’ by far.

This week, Sammy crafted an interactive demo of the Willow data model. Aljoscha vents in two rants, and has also figured out how to get a flanger-like effect into the music for the website. We release a Rust crate for variable-length integer encodings.

Now on Fridays! In this week's comic, Aljoscha and Sammy are called out. Encoding and decoding lands in Ufotofu. We go back to 1998 to further explore why the site is called worm-blossom. There are opinions about fancy CRDTs. Aljoscha talks encoding and fuzz testing.

Ufotofu is a Rust crate for working with streams and sinks which we developed for our Willow Rust work, based on “Strict Principles for Lazy Sequences” (aljoscha-meyer.de/assets/landi...). Also when the webpage scrolls it looks like a UFO is beaming stuff up.

This week we release ufotofu, a perfectly symmetrical Rust library for streams and sinks. There's a cross-section of where most of the time in a worm-blossom project goes. Aljoscha looks back on years of p2p projects rolling their own streaming abstractions.

This week we begin our multi-part series on why worm-blossom is called that. There's also a new willow25 crate release with groupings. Aljoscha has a new order theory crate. And Sammy has been away and drew a bit of Wales.

willowprotocol.org, the home for our set of p2p storage protocols, has been updated! There’s a new Rust section. Confidential Sync prevents man-in-the-middle attacks. The Drop format encodes Willow data efficiently into a single binary. Dozens of new illustrations. And much more!

This week on worm-blossom.org: the reviews are in, and people like the website! Aljoscha works on non-Willow projects like ufotufo and Macromania. Sammy draws a comic on indirect problem solving. We announce 'Frugal Async Rust', which is nothing less than a way of life.

welcome to https://worm-blossom.org! It’s a shared development diary, one with comics and music and an update each week.
In week 42, we try to regain our senses in the rabbithole, rename (and redraw) some specs, release Bab 0.1.0, and share some lovely music to mine to.
