Radicle

In this episode we embark on a learning journey guided by Fintan and Lorenz into the realms of forges, patches and repositories. Radicle is a code collaboration platform built for developers who value transparency, ownership, and open-source resilience, building on peer-to-peer and local-first infrastructure for censorship-resistant collaboration directly over Git. This conversation flows through many avenues from federated forges to DIDs and the next steps on the horizon for Radicle. Also mentioned is the Digital Identity report by Cade Diehm and New Design Congress. Connect to the Radicle team and community on their multi-lane Radicle Zulip chat and learn more about sovereign Git collaboration.

CoMapeo

Protecting indigenous digital sovereignty and planting the seed for a different relationship to technology, this episode covers the project of CoMapeo. Guided by Luandro who works at Awana Digital, and has walked many lands and spoken to communities across the world, while co-create what CoMapeo means in their contexts. Building on the protocol Hypercore, the offline-first capabilities of CoMapeo enable communities to map out their territories and fend off oil companies, preserve their cultures and spoken tongues through the sister project Terrastories and even support the data-gathering on the biological diversity of animals in remote regions such as the Meli bees project. Another sister project to CoMapeo is Āhau which supports the linage-tracking of Māori tribes in Aotearoa (New Zealand). As the largest active delay-tolerant and local-first implemented community project, CoMapeo shines brightly both in the present and as a guiding light for the future.

Hypercore in Rust

In this episode we talk to Blake who’s working on a Rust implementation of the Hypercore protocol. Hypercore (formerly known as .dat and part of the dat ecosystem ) is one of the oldest P4P networks. Blake presents two usecases for Hypercore as a protocol which have previously been under-explored but are highly promising—for RSS and for package-management—showcasing the versatility of P4P protocols and how there can be a larger ecosystem of P2P networks. Also mentioned in the podcast is the Pear protocol, Mapeo. and the chat app Keet. Find Blake on Bluesky and Mastodon.
