Good Now!
Hope you are all well.
I just wanted to post here to share a related (complimentary) open-source project I’ve just started, and currently crowd-funding (until 18th May).
The video on the page explains it and there are other details on the page, but for those of you who are familiar with Holochain, I have made this comparison table, which compares “holoweb(s)” to “Holochain”:

And a semi-technical presentation:

(if any of these links are broken, please go here: https://larcombe.io/2020/04/28/holoform-presentation/)
The project is inspired by both Holochain and Scuttlebut.
Additional information
Here is some additional information and key points
- It is a “semantic web” data structure, designed for decentralised implementation - so emphasis is on this
- holoweb is an abbreviation of holonic/holonomic web (from the word holon)
- A holoweb can be stored in/on a Holochain application DHT, using a Holoweb DNA (in development soon, will be on Github)
- Holowebs are designed to be stored/synced via many systems (they are by default “network agnostic”)
- “Holoweb System” refers to implementation of “the holoweb” (set of all holowebs), including browser and core apps
- Will not be dependent on any one network stack - will have its own networking stack
- Mobile-first implementation (prioritising portability)
- Will be integrating it with Holochain once Holochain is ready on Android devices (e.g., providing a local web-socket server to conductor)
I will post an update here when I have something ready and working. No website yet, but if you want to stay updated, please subscribe to this Telegram channel: t.me/holoweb
