summary
AO.space is an open source personal-server stack that gives users account and data control by generating device-owned private keys and publishing a decentralized identifier (DID) document with a tamper-evident history chain. It rejects blockchain as a required substrate, implements end-to-end encrypted multi-device sync, supports PWA/cloud-native front- and back-ends, self-hosted or clustered personal servers, and backups to IPFS, cloud providers or friends’ storage so data remains available without trusting a single platform.
