Homeownership on the web is highly analogous to the physical world. Modern homeownership is mostly a story of home-rentership, not real ownership.

Incredibly, this matches the online experience, even though the World Wide Web has an infinite amount of real-estate!

You deserve a home on the web that’s built to keep you safe; a magical place for virtual living that‘s yours for life, existing in a sociable web.

@erlend Every house that has a physical wire running into it should have a dedicated IPv6 address. In real terms it wouldn't cost anybody anything financially, so, just, why not?

@erlend wouldn't you say that they're also "renting" from you as well since you own the servers? I guess I'm trying to understand what the difference is between this and something like wordpress.com.

@db0 the renting in our case is optional and for convenience, indeed same as with WordPress.com

@erlend Gotcha. What novelty would you say you're bringing compared to other such services?

@db0 stay tuned for further blog posts 😁 (or read our backlog).

In short though, we’re combining website-identity with authz/authn identity (Login with Weird/YourDomain).

Under the hood, Weird is also fully capable. For the sake of simplicity we just can’t start there.

@erlend Cool! I'm staying tuned. I've already read some of the backlog.
