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

Today is Friday, and this means it’s time for…
@EvanHahn was a #DWebCamp 2024 fellow. His work is very broad, as he worked with several different companies, including @signalapp!
Evan participates in the development of many #DWeb technologies, most notably he contributed to CoMapeo, an offline-only tool for Indigenous mapping and monitoring (https://awana.digital/comapeo)!

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 I added #OpenAPI documentation to #dweb for building #RESTful #p2p web apps using your favourite web framework, or no framework at all.
All I have to do now is add more APIs!
But tbh, that's easy. The hardest part is actually the documentation. 
So to make it more fun I'm adding the APIs need to enhance my #Fileman #Svelte demo.
So next is image preview which means adding /dweb-0/file-get
@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.
So far, I have been delving into the #Web3 and #crypto debate only superficially, as the very few notions I got led me to abhor any kind of technology related to the #blockchain.
Since I started my new job at @dweb, though, I am finding myself revisiting my position by deepening my knowledge on the topic. I am mostly drawing the same conclusions—crypto is terrible—yet I am glad I am learning more also on what I am very critical about.
I am particularly thankful to @mai for writing this article, which I believe is a great starting point to develop an informed opinion.
Above all, as mai points out, nothing is all-bad, and there are for sure ideas and practices that can be learned (as cautionary tales in the worst case scenarios) even from problematic technologies, communities, and/or founders.
Hey decentralization lovers from all over the planet!
Starting today, every Monday we’ll be publishing a thread sharing the events of the week.
If we are missing anything, please do get in touch. We are also working on a calendar gathering all events in one place! Stay tuned 
1/2 (Se the events coming up this week in the next post)
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.

I am so honoured and excited to be the new Social Media and Community Manager for @dweb!
I also feel a very big responsibility, it is such an important role for me, but at the same time I am working with a stellar team, doing things I love and I truly believe in. 
Between this and connection weaving at @VillageOneCoop, my plate is going to be quite full in the next few months… I love the challenge, and
always
ROCK’n’ROLL!
Updated my /now page, too.
@mistersql Secure data distribution isn’t easy, but there are folks who are working on it like @roblach and folks in the #DWeb community
