What a month! We attended IPFS Thing 2023, shared important updates on IPVM and Rhizome, and held our first-ever conference, Causal Islands.
Announcements
- Fission has a new website! We've updated the website to better reflect our current projects and our active participation in the decentralized web ecosystem.
- Webnative is now ODD. The name change reflects our broad vision and platform-agnostic approach to our developer tooling.
- Fission gave nine(!) talks at IPFS Thing 2023 in Brussels. We presented a demo of Homestar, our implementation of IPVM, and shared Fission's Starmap. We also open-sourced our local-first edge database, RhizomeDB. Keep an eye on the blog for a full recap.
- We made an adventure game! Fissioneer Brian created UCAN Adventure, a fun and educational text-based adventure game that teaches players how UCANs work! Give it a try - you never know what surprises may await 😉!
The First-Ever Causal Islands Conference Was a Success!
We had a fantastic time throwing our first-ever conference - Causal Islands. Some common themes that emerged during the conference were how power is distributed in the systems we work in and create and how engineers can build solutions that prioritize user agency and self-expression.
We'll have a full recap post on the blog soon, complete with videos of individual talks. In the meantime, please enjoy the collected live streams.
