spaceship

what is this?

spaceship is a reference design for interaction patterns in decentralised cryptographically secure network spaces (cypherspaces).

the goal is to produce a schematic (and reference interface) that yields affordances that any cypherspace should be able to provide.

prototypicals

• git-ssb

in fact this is a very interesting example, because git itself is a tool for producing different subjective views of a decentralised network of data!

• tor browser (thru hidden services only)

• patchwork

roadmap

• ☐ reference engine implementations in:
  • ☐ scuttlebot
  • ☐ hyperdrive/swarmbot
  • ☐ onionspace/tor
  • ☐ hydra
  • ☐ orbit-db/ipfs
  • ??
• ☐ a reference visual interface: spaceship-bridge
• ☐ a complete prototype doc
