Description
Zooko:
I've been wishing for a secure decentralized blog. Well, I already have a secure decentralized blog, but I've been wishing for one that was written from the ground up to be:
- integrated with Tahoe-LAFS
- optimized for blogging (I've pressed TiddlyWiki into service as a blog and it is a bit of an ill fit)
- optimized for performance -- both for reading and for writing my
blog is a bit klunky
- Unobtrusive JavaScript, which makes it so that browsers with reduced functionality, even without JavaScript at all, can still view the content
- automatically makes good backups of older versions of my blog to
the Tahoe-LAFS grid
- many more features of bloggy goodness

Secure Decentralized Blog
Write a blog in Google's Caja dialect of JavaScript or in the Jacaranda dialect of JavaScript. This blog will load and store data directly on a Tahoe-LAFS storage grid so that it is a full "Cloud App"—there is no server. All computation is done in the user's web browser in Caja / Jacaranda / JavaScript and all of the storage is done by the decentralized Tahoe-LAFS storage grid. This project is intended to be the successor to the TiddlyWiki-on-Tahoe-LAFS project, which is a wiki written in JavaScript and hosted on Tahoe-LAFS, but one that has been "bolted on" to Tahoe-LAFS instead of designed for Tahoe-LAFS, and is not optimized for blogging.
To get started, play with the TiddlyWiki-on-Tahoe-LAFS quick start, read the source code of the HTTPSavingPlugin and the TahoePlugin for TiddlyWiki, and experiment with writing live Caja applets.
