Creating a verifiable, immutable chain of provenance is a perfect application for #Autonomi (no need for blockchain now).
In fact there's a project being developed right now by a UK farmer to do this for farm produce, called #REGRU.
It's a finalist in their #ImpossibleFutures challenge.
I'm in eTag land. Been here before so not as hard as the first time.
I'm close to sharing my most ambitious decentralised app for #Autonomi yet.
It's a single 40k file of HTML that loads from the secure anonymous p2p network and talks to it over a REST API provided by a local #dweb server that I created.
It's going to be fun: a cross between chat and Mastodon/Twitter/X type #SocialMedia
I delayed release to support avatars, but nearly done now.
Secure, encrypted, #p2p social media. Simple to install and join.

Update 24 April
Big news this week is that we received more than 60 applications for the Impossible Futures (IF) challenge which is a tremendous response. The range of applications was super diverse across the three themes of Entertainment, Knowledge and Infrastructure.

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
David Irvine on why a peer to peer network needs something different from blockchain, why we need to be disrupted from our ‘collectivism’ and self-improving AI.
Having played a bit I'm now adding #OpenAPI docs with #Swagger UI to #Autonomi dweb using #utoipa and #utoipauto.
EDIT: switched from #utoipauto to #utoipa_actix_web
I'm neither a user nor, until now a builder of HTTP APIs so stumbling around, but these crates do a decent job of being usable even to a novice.
I really shouldn't be let loose with all this 
@tokyo_0 #Autonomi aim to do just that. The network is live but still being worked on to get uploads and downloads reliable.
For my part I'm building on this to make it easy to publish and view websites, RESTful dapps and other things with my #dweb project. All working on local test networks so we're all waiting for the public network to work at scale.
I published my first two dweb apps for #Autonomi today. Just to github for now but I'll be publishing dweb properly in a few days, maybe Sunday, then I'll write about it all.
Simple, but still useful demos, not least of how easily an very low skill web dev like myself can build #p2p stuff in Svelte.
That's two apps in a week, while building the API they need into #dweb - in fact that was almost all the work.
How about this architecture:
On the client:
- dweb serve: a local web server that has a web API which can be accessed by local browser apps, and any desktop or local client that wants to access...
- #Autonomi - a p2p decentralised storage system that keeps data after a one off payment (no ongoing fees, expiring domains or websites).
dweb is also a client, so 'dweb open <ADDRESS-OR-NAME>' opens a decentralised app or website in your browser from Autonomi via the dweb server.
Code has been flying this week and I'm having lots of fun seeing things come together so neatly... and work!
A whole new way of browsing the #dweb on #Autonomi with no additional setup, revamped simpler CLI and the start of Rust and web APIs for desktop and web apps using Autonomi to build a #decentralized #p2p web.
I'm having do much fun after a long slog to get here.
First working release coming soon on crates.io 
@neil
There is an alternative: peer-to-peer service on a fully autonomous network...
#Autonomi have announced their decentralised peer-to-peer storage network.
The big deal here is:
- Autonomi nodes run on anything (Raspberry Pi, an old laptop, home server, whatever) so anyone can participate
- maximal #decentralisation, security and privacy
- storage for a one-off fee ensures data and websites will not be lost, link rot won't happen and developers have the ability to scale without infrastructure costs or VC funding

#p2p #decentralization #FOSS #GPLv3
Steady (aka slow ) progress as I learn how to get #Actix to handle multiple domains and routes on a single server, including domains which include parameters.
Why am I doing this?
For #dweb of course, to enable websites to be published to #p2p #Autonomi and served in a standard web browser.
Versioned websites that is! Every version ever published using dweb, viewable using dweb!
Today I added a "Share on #Mastodon" button to my #Publii blog, and fixed the "Follow" icon I had implemented using a crude hack.
The former saved me Euro 29 for an overpriced plugin. Let me know if you want to know how to do this for free yourself.
This is what I do when recovering from a nasty illness
As well as work on #Autonomi #p2p #dweb that is, the reason I have a blog.
Guess who snagged the name dweb for his first #Rust library crate on crates.io.
It also includes my first Trait and templated type, making it easy to create and manage a history of any data type saved to #p2p storage.
So it doesn't just support versioned #decentralised websites, or file trees, but versioned #decentralized anything.
t00t! 
#Autonomi will have a better claim to that so keep an eye out.
Finding things will always be different than on the centralised platforms - though arguably better for it.
More like the early web for the time being, but that should improve steadily.
