Welcome to all the new @peergos.org customers today! @peergos.org is a non profit. We don't have any pressure from Venture Capital, or otherwise, to grow as fast as possible. We are happy to keep improving at our own pace. We are also self-hostable and fully open source, including the server.

This is the reason why I designed @peergos.org to dial by key. I wish atproto had adopted that, but I know there were reasons.

Tiles and Files! There's a new Peergos release out which includes tiles in the newsfeed. The first user of this is the calendar app to render shared calendar events. Not on Peergos yet? Come join the future - a secure and private web! #NoSurveillanceCapitalism peergos.org github.com/Peergos/web-...
Release Tiles in the newsfeed and Vue 3 · Peergos/web-ui
Apps can now show small tiles in the newsfeed. These use the same sandbox as the app themselves, but with only read access to the shared file. The first example of this is the calendar app showing ...

Tiles (sandboxed apps) in @peergos.org are normally full-screen affairs, but now they can have a tile mode which is displayed directly inline in the newsfeed. The first example of this is the calendar displaying event details directly in your feed rather than having to open the full calendar app.
G'day folks! There is a new @peergos.org release out with 2 cool new features. Now you can set a space limit on any file/dir you share writable, including secret links. So we've finally removed the warning that anyone you share write capability to could fill your space! github.com/Peergos/web-...
Release Writer quotas and custom groups · Peergos/web-ui

@dgruning.bsky.social and 2 others wrote an interesting paper on how to have an actual prosocial architecture for social media protocols. They analyse ActivityPub, ATProto, Nostr and @peergos.org Our client-assembled feeds should get 100% on Algorithmic Sovereignty though. arxiv.org/pdf/2609.35413

Happy Friday, happy new Peergos release! Cool stuff in this release: * multi-file secret links (up to 100) * blake3 support (read-only until enough clients support it) * a beautiful new drive UI * better video thumbnails on desktop * Greek language support (about time!) github.com/Peergos/web-...

Wonderful feedback! 😍 "Beyond being a happy customer, I genuinely think Peergos is what software should look like. Decentralised, open-source, and independent from Big Tech and VC money. The architecture and philosophy behind it basically tick every box for me.
Now you can browse into zip files on @peergos.org You can download individual files or view them directly in the app registered for them. You can even open websites or markdown wikis directly inside the zip. Links and images to relative files in the zip work. We also support adding new files, ...
Some may be wondering what implications, if any, this has for @peergos. Even if all ipfs work, and infrastructure stopped today we would be unaffected as a protocol. We have our own minimal implementation, and these days we basically do HTTP over (jvm)libp2p + kademlia.

There's a new release out which is AWESOME. 150x faster sync. Much prettier sync and drive mount UI. Uploads no longer block the UI. Also single use backup 2FA codes. github.com/Peergos/web-...

Peergos is a personal data layer for the internet. Free yourself from servers holding your identity hostage. Free yourself from apps holding your data hostage. Free yourself from surveillance capitalism. Free yourself.
Lovely customer feedback, "I recently got a Pioneer membership with Peergos and am impressed with how versatile the feature set is compared with Proton Drive and Tresorit. Well done!"
This was super fun, and found a bunch of rough UX edges in Peergos which are all fixed now.
Great fun this morning at the #JCrete hack day with @ianopolous.bsky.social, getting @radicle.dev + @peergos.org running side by side on #solar - powered hardware! Blog post and peergos-backed release artifacts on Radicle, coming soon Goal: #peer2peer #decentralised software, packaged sustainably!
It is possible to have federation that keeps end users in control and doesn't allow 3rd party copying of your data without your consent. That's exactly what @peergos.org protocol does. There are of course tradeoffs but it is the right choice for user agency and democracy.
the eYou people, a closed european twitterclone that is now using didplc for identity, seem to be reading my posts and have figured out the fairly horrifying implications of it
Hooray! Our first government contract for @peergos.org! EU governments are starting to realise what real digital sovereignty means. It means portable identity, portable data, and end-to-end encryption. Mass surveillance is not compatible with democracy.
Dialing keys is definitely the right approach. We've been doing that in @peergos.org since 2019: peergos.org/posts/dev-up...
Development update

We just released the first stable version of iroh, v1.0! Read about it: www.iroh.computer/blog/v1 We're super proud of where we landed with iroh's 1.0. Since version 0.35 it feels like we've entirely replaced the "engine underneath". Are you a fellow key-dialer? Come tell us how you use iroh!
I'm super excited about the upcoming drive mount for @peergos.org which lets you lazily mount your entire Peergos drive, with partial sync and offline writes. It also improves the webdav bridge so that uploads of files automatically skip identical chunks, and it supports Range based GETs and PUTs.
I don't have much time for bluesky these days, but here's 3 big releases of @peergos.org. The first adds cross platform thumbnail generation for images and videos in our sync client. Also 5x fewer syscalls in the sync local enumeration. github.com/Peergos/web-...
Release Thumbnails and no hangs! · Peergos/web-ui

This is a good start, but is missing a critical part: private data and sharing. Without privacy there can be no democracy. The obvious solution there is @peergos.org and we'd love to be included.

Apple and Google are gradually expanding their use of hardware-based attestation. They're convincing a growing number of services to adopt it. Google's Play Integrity API and Apple's App Attest API are very similar. Apple brought it to the web via Privacy Pass, which Google intends on doing too.
There's a big new release of @peergos.org out with atomic multi-writer commits! I've wanted this for years, but finally did it. github.com/Peergos/web-... Lots of fixes and improvements across the board, including to the app/tile sandbox.
Release Atomic multi-writer commits · Peergos/web-ui
This release adds atomic multi-writer commits. This is used to fix a problem deleting large folders with large subtrees under different writers atomically. There are some big fixes to mini apps, ne...

Fix the incentives, fix the system. Don't be part of surveillance capitalism.
Yep! That's been our core principle working on @peergos.org since 2013 - it has to be easy for everyone to use. If people have to manage their keys then you've already failed. E2EE needs to be part of the foundation of the internet. Servers and hosts should be dump pipes, or they accumulate power.
There's a new Peergos release out with 1000x resumption of large uploads and 10x faster deletes! Come and join the growing user agency revolution! If it is not E2EE, you don't own or control it. Control your data, control your destiny! github.com/Peergos/web-...
Release 1000x Faster upload resumption and deletion · Peergos/web-ui
We make resuming uploads of large directories 1000x faster, and resuming uploads of large files 5000x faster. Starting new uploads is also much faster. Deleting a large folder is 10x faster. Flatpa...
