this is an excellent point Sort of tangent, but the fact that Block Protocol is also managing the distribution of the resulting UI components, unlike Solid which encouraged people to consume the data independently through an API, makes it m

Fluffychat is mentioned a lot here as a good UI/UX alternative to Element. Just wanted to bring up another that I'm working on called Syphon. It's not at the stage where it can compete with Fluffychat in terms of spec parity

If the product is anything like the pwnagotchi, many could use this as an alternative to research intercepting / cracking local wifi. My understanding may be a bit dated, but unauthorized access of any network in the US is a crime. The
