Giving the individual control of their data: Open Source Decentralized Web Nodes
summary
Claim that apps no longer need to hold user data and demos of concrete tooling: an open-source SDK implements DIF’s decentralized web nodes standard, a DID method that reuses BitTorrent-based DIDs, and decentralized resource locators. A community instance runs on Google Cloud with 1 GB free per user so developers can prototype serverless apps that store data with users, not providers. Availability is announced and the cloud-hosted nodes and docs are ready for developers to try.
