Did a quick vector art logo for Forth Place since I don't have the old one on hand

And the Lord said unto John, "Come forth, and you will receive eternal life". John came fifth and won a toaster.

A New Internet

I've been vague about it so I want to clarify what's going on with a few of the projects I'm working on.

So let's start from Microbe.

Microbe will be generalized into the base tool wasm appliance format I'm calling Recurcap. Recurcap or recursive capsule appliances use capsule appliances (self contained wasm appliances with standardized and discoverable functionality) to provide complex functionalities to their parent capsules. Trimaran which will be a generalized one file website builder will be a Recurcap appliance.

Recurcap will also be part of projects called People's Work and Forth Place.

People's Work (so called because the primary support will be for Python and Wasm apps) will be an alternative to traditional app stores. This tool will allow people to publish applications to the web easily and with little (if we need to host their files) to no cost.

Forth Place is a project to provide a minimalist alternative web via peer to peer communication. Sonnet which I havent talked about for a bit is a social network alternative which will be the first Forth Place service.

Lastly and the most ambitious part of this in my opinion will be the capsule mesh. Using Recurcap appliances, the protocols for Forth Place, and LoRa devices I am going to try and create a physical alternative to the existing internet infrastructure that anyone can cheaply extend.

So if any of that sounds interesting to you consider supporting me so I can keep up the work!
