  1. Wrt my previous post, yesterday I was setting up Affine on my SO's phone to finally get off our iCloud shared Notes

    Everything works well, get the app, configure the server URL, login in with OIDC... Woops, 503 error

    PocketID had been descheduled and left hanging after a failing node took the longhorn lock in its downfall

    A quick lock release and boom, we are back to business, all notes are in both of our phones, and with realtime editing !

  2. Decentralized browser-based P2P E2EE messaging.

    The key detail that sets this apart from other messaging apps is the browser-based client-side cryptography philosophy.

    No need to install anything. Your ID is crypto-random and so the app doesnt need to rely on any central registration system like phone numbers. Your ID is unguessable and to connect to someone, you have to explicitly share it.

    WebRTC has other nuances like being to route through a shared network for secure/faster transfer.

    I hope this project has reached a level i can share the following details. I've made a genuine effort towards documentation and transparancy. I dont think it'll ever be enough and so im still concerned it isnt ready to share. While im using AI throughout. This is not a vibecoded project. There is attention throughout for unit tests and formal-verification. With your feedback, id like to make improvements for clarity throughout.

    This version of the app demonstrates a fairly unique approach using a browser-based, local-only and webrtc approach. I know it's impossible for any system to be the "world's most secure", but that isnt a reason to not try. By rigorously implementing an exhaustive list of security features and practices, the aim is to get as close as possible.

    This is intended to demonstrate client-side managed secure cryptography.

    I know ive tried to compress a lot of my journey into one post. The project above is going to be tricky to understand. Feel free to reach out for clarity on any of the details.

  3. Day 290

    If a journalist eventually finds it, the story waiting for them is no longer “Amazon misspelled an actor’s name.”

    It is:

    “A German woman spent nearly a year documenting a systemic catalogue-integrity problem while every major stakeholder said, in one form or another, that responsibility belonged somewhere else.”

  4. Oh, look! Another *revolutionary* idea: let users decide where their data goes! 🚀 Because who wouldn't want the privilege of navigating the labyrinth of BaaS, triplestores, and serverless authorization? 🙄 Meanwhile, GitHub's throwing AI and automation at everything, apparently hoping we'll all just forget what real development looks like. 🤖🔧

  5. WHERE OTHERS LOSE CONTROL – WE STAY IN THE LOOP.

    At Infinito.Nexus, we believe that AI should never replace human judgment. We are the captains. AI is our navigator. While others hand over responsibility to black-box systems, we stay in control. We design the architecture, review the code, verify every deployment, and make the decisions that shape the future of the systems we build. AI is one of the most powerful tools ever created. But it remains a tool. We are the engineers, architects, and craftsmen who use it to build sovereign digital infrastructure faster, more reliably, and at a scale that was impossible only a few years ago. […]
