It helps you get an edge over competitors. Visually, City Racing seems quite awkward. Unfortunately, the physics looks unrealistic, and the game comes with outdated graphics. "There are no other files - and then once you have it running, in that folder when you set up your capsule server, it's just the Capsule program and a Capsule database that is a file. It sets up a server, it contacts Let's Encrypt, it gets you a certificate, it uses SQLite for the database, which is a serverless database, all of the assets for the web server are within the binary," he says, walking through the "really nice technical idea" that snagged $100,000 in pre-seed backing insanely fast.Īnd you get that binary and you deploy it and you run it, and that's it. "When you deploy Capsule right now - I have a prototype that does almost nothing running - it's basically one binary.

Interest in the space has been rekindled in recent weeks after mainstream platforms like Facebook and Twitter took decisions to shut down U.S. Extant examples include ActivityPub, Diaspora, Mastodon, P2P Matrix, Scuttlebutt, Solid and Urbit, to name a few. The list of decentralized/P2P/federated protocols and standards already out there is very long - even while usage remains low.
