"Making sure that publishing on the Web is easy and accessible is one of the most important things we can do to preserve the open Web"
— Tara Vancil (via tweet)
.....
"There’s a set of values in the p2p Web community and I think it’s important to amplify them. They are:"
-
We should improve and preserve the Web.
The Web is a genuine social accomplishment and we should look after it. Don’t let lesser platforms win out.
-
Devops is oppressive!
Many people can’t publish websites or apps because they can’t run servers. Publishing should be accessible to all.
-
“View source” is critical to an open Web.
The more code that users can read, the more code they can review and learn from.
-
“Modify source” is the p2p Web’s great power.
A Web that can be made and remade by its people can better serve their needs and produce a more diverse & exciting world. The Web should be a truly “live” society.
-
Minimize change, maximize impact.
The p2p Web should still be the Web. Make it better, don’t remake it.
-
Don't forget resilience.
A web based on protocols, not platforms, is a safe web. Don't put data in silos but have various platforms use the same protocols to interact.
— Paul Frazee (via this

getting started
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
While there are many possible ways to get started, I recommend first downloading Beaker Browser. Then watch this short 2min video intro and try creating a simple website along with it!
Also Scuttlebutt, a p2p protocol used in social networking, is good to explore. Recommend watching the intro video, Scuttlebutt Love Story and downloading a client like Patchwork.
