After two months of development, a LOT has happened in the Weird project.
Weird is a web application built to increase the agency of internet users. We are building three interconnected pillars as our foundation:
* Independent social sign-in rooted in the OIDC standard as keymaster
* A personal web space creator
* An actually-social network of shared purpose
In two weeks we're starting our pilot with the Norwegian Buddhist Foundation!

Funny how this lovely article by @johnallsopp is practically like I asked an actually competent GenAI ‘please write a “state of the web” article from the POV of the Weird project’.
Will definitely refer to this in our future writings!
@erlend Looks exciting! I haven't been following any of this... but have been wanting a way to send my friends digital letters through some kind of web interface that would ideally be e2e encrypted. Is that the kind of thing that could be built with this stuff?
@saul we’re more of a facilitator for that kind of thing. Weird can help make the initial connection, but the message transmission would be left to any of a number of E2EE messengers we’d defer to (by integration), like #matrix, #signal, #Veilid, #polyproto etc.
@erlend hell yeah this is the real shit
@erlend this is super awesome so glad to see this progress!
@erlend oh no they are onto me…
@erlend @johnallsopp this is excellent
