Zicklag<a href="https://writing.exchange/@erlend" class="u-url mention">@erlend</a> <a href="https://social.coop/@cwebber" class="u-url mention">@cwebber</a> This is actually the one thing that I hadn't figured out how to do on top of the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/willowprotocol" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#willowprotocol</a> yet. but I really want to find a way to do it eventually. I think it's tricky so we'd need a good protocol / algorithm for it I think.Currently we're just using public keys as identity which can be resolved through domains.The rest of it is all stuff we've already got or that we're working on, other than the fact that we aren't using OCaps exactly because Willow has Meadowcap.

ZicklagFor the last several months I've been working on making a federated app.I just finished migrating it to use the latest iteration of our new <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/leafprotocol" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#leafprotocol</a> data format on top of the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/willowprotocol" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#willowprotocol</a> and so far it's going really well.In this post I share some of the concepts and rational behind the Leaf Protocol:<a href="https://zicklag.katharos.group/blog/introducing-leaf-protocol/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no">https://zicklag.katharos.group/blog/introducing-leaf-protocol/</a><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#fediverse</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/protocol" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#protocol</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/iroh" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#iroh</a>

Zicklag<a href="https://hachyderm.io/@RookieNerd" class="u-url mention">@RookieNerd</a> <a href="https://writing.exchange/@erlend" class="u-url mention">@erlend</a> Excellent post.I'm less sure about the third shift "Interfaces become queries", but it's just an idea anyway and it's not bad.The direction I've taken is to try and start designing a simple entity-component type data model that apps can read and write on top of whatever distribution protocol ( starting with the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/willowprotocol" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#willowprotocol</a>, but it might work with other similar options, too ).I've face similar inter-operability challenges in video game scripting interfaces.🧵

ZicklagI've just finished the first draft of the Leaf Protocol!<a href="https://github.com/commune-os/agentic-fediverse/blob/4ab05ac7cbbc6f5fed185d051b9293ff2db49219/leaf-protocol-draft.md#leaf-protocol-draft" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no">https://github.com/commune-os/agentic-fediverse/blob/4ab05ac7cbbc6f5fed185d051b9293ff2db49219/leaf-protocol-draft.md#leaf-protocol-draft</a>It's a data layer on top of the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/willowprotocol" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#willowprotocol</a> seeking help build a "Web of Data" for the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/agenticfediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#agenticfediverse</a>.I'm going to be working on a prototype very soon, built on <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/iroh" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#iroh</a> for use in the Weird project:<a href="https://github.com/commune-os/weird/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no">https://github.com/commune-os/weird/</a>

It's not custom.We aren't making a totally new protocol, we're describing a more organized way to store data on the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/willowprotocol" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#willowprotocol</a>.Granted the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/willowprotocol" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#willowprotocol</a> is new and isn't <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/activitypub" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#activitypub</a>.

Sometimes you want to be able to delete revisions and clean stuff up to save on storage.The idea is instead to let you track versions with maybe something like a `Revisions` component that has a list of the immutable entity snapshots of older revisions.
