Manyverse – A social network off the grid

Re:Manyverse – A social network off the grid by Grumbledour on Tuesday September 25, 2018 @10:12AM (#18066423)

I really do like SSB in concept, but I am kinda sad that it seems to fit mainly for social networks. I would like to see something more discussion/topic focused than user centric, but of course with the whole peer to peer and offline aspects.

I've seen multiple implementations of different paradigms on top of SSB. Even though most of the clients are providing you with a lens that makes it look like a social network, there is so much more to it. Check the application tab at http://scuttlebutt.nz

The SSB protocol and feed database are both very flexible and can be used in the way you want if someone builds the app for it.

You can use it for chess too! https://github.com/Happy0/ssb-chess

Honestly the chess keeps me coming back. At first I was excited to be playing chess again, but it's a great way to have a casual chat and get to know each other a bit better. Can't recommend it enough.

I prefer Go to chess, so I'm eagerly awaiting a version of https://github.com/maackle/ssb-igo that I can just install via Flatpak and use.

I’m working on exactly that, full time since March or so. About to launch. See a demo walkthrough (2:52m, silent) here. https://vimeo.com/287330735

hmm.. at it's core it's just a database (that syncs across the friend graph), you might find cel's work on git-ssb and ssb-npm-registry interesting. you could just as well make something like discourse ontop of it.

we are currently discussing something more _groupware_ like to remove the dependency on github for issue tracking.

Discussion/topic based, as in like Reddit or HN? Not SSB, but NAB ( https://notabug.io/ ) might be what you are looking for, also offline-first and P2P.
