I'm trying to do an initiative called #DonateFriday where I urge people to donate to different Fediverse projects.

This past Friday, it was for @cwebber and @spritelyinst

The week previous it was @Gargron and Mastodon.

I will boost your Fediverse project if I know it's a worthy cause.

But also, please be nice to me when I boost other worthy causes 🙂

Here's a demo of a chat app written with Goblins distributed programming features. What @cwebber and @spritelyinst are building isn't faraway into the future, much of this is happening now!

Some interesting things happening here:

* The two participants are speaking over a peer to peer network
* Communication is end-to-end encrypted
* The entire chat app is written in a mere 154 lines of code

This could be huge! #DonateFriday

The ambition of @spritelyinst: enable the creation of peer-to-peer, gatekeeper-free community-run networks and social spaces for everyone.

Here's a tour of the tech. #DonateFriday https://spritely.institute/news/blast-off-spritely-institutes-tech-tour.html

If you want a high level intro on what @spritelyinst does, here's a video with @cwebber talking about it. #DonateFriday https://youtu.be/T8uqHCo10I8

⚠️PLEASE BOOST⚠️ Do you want a better Internet? Help the people who make it happen!

@cwebber co-authored #ActivityPub, the protocol that makes Mastodon happen. It's what allows different Fediverse instances to talk to each other, preventing another Elon Musk from happening.

Now she's building @spritelyinst, a FOSS distributed programming platform. The mission: social media done right.

Help her build a better Internet! #DonateFriday https://spritely.institute/
