    So many options out there for this already. Whyyyyy make another one? Just contribute to one that already has been built and make it better Jack. You’re so fucking close to being a good guy, but you just can’t figure it out.

      It’s licensed under the “unlicense” which is public domain adjacent. But yes Briar exists and I’m not sure what this really does any better that’s any more usable. It’s at least interesting to see that he may have finally understood what decentralized actually means with this though. And competition is always a good thing even if it’s over things that are mostly useless to the public.
