  • PocketBase an all-in-one app backend, with database, auth, files, and an admin dashboard
  • The miracle of the commons I have had open in tab, Philipp Krüger posted it to #Fission
    • It covers my pet peeve: that tragedy of the commons doesn’t say that commons don’t work, but rather that they need to be managed

    • This is where Fred Wilson’s Sign Everything comes in — cryptographic proof of human:
      • I think we will need to sign everything to signify its validity. When I say sign, I am thinking cryptographically signed, like you sign a transaction in your web3 wallet.
