How do we build the digital commons of tomorrow?

Watch the recording of last week’s DWeb Meetup Bay Area!

I'm developing a demo app to be called #Winsome to show how to use my #dweb #RESTful APIs for the decentralised #Autonomi network.

I struggle with raw HTML, CSS & JS and am much happier with Svelte but this is going to be an app in a single HTML file so it's taken a while but the hard part is done!

Thinking about next steps has clarified what else I need in the #REST API and how to provide a neat security model for p2p web apps!

I do love code!

I've been lax at updates to the dweb REST API which now supports most #Autonomi data types.

Web apps can POST/GET immutable data such as files and Archives (public and private), do multipart uploads of file(s), POST/PUT/GET Pointers (mutable references to other types) and POST/PUT/GET Scratchpads which are mutable storage for encrypted or public data.

To view #dweb #REST APIs:
- get rust
- cargo install dweb-cli
- dweb serve
In another terminal:
- dweb openapi-docs

@radicle looks like an interesting Free Software to check out: it’s a peer-to-peer, local-first git forge for the decentralized Web!

Good progress on the #dweb REST APIs and improvements to the #OpenAPI docs today, all with the help of #actix and #utoipa

BTW #SwaggerUI is really cool

A few days ago I knew nothing about these but now I have a working API that is documented and can be tested live while reading those docs.

Someone asked if I might support #GraphQL but I haven't looked into that. Convince me that I should!

Today’s fellow for the #DWebFellowFridays is @f!

He attended several DWeb Camps, and he has been active in digital freedom movements for many years, we consider him a veteran of the #DWeb community.

fauno works at @sutty and collaborates with @distributedpress, brewing countless projects and initiatives closely connected to local communities and knowledge preservation for minorities.
