Pioneer Ecosystem

The Pioneer Ecosystem will make the tools we're building for Riff.CC useful, modular and available to all.

Welcome to the Pioneer Ecosystem! For now, you can read more about the tools on this page. For now, this serves as introduction.

These tools will one day form the basis of a new way of running websites and platforms on the internet, powered by what we call Lenses.

  • Orbiter: An implementation of Riff.CC's Defederation protocol that allows you to browse, stream, share, edit and curate information, culture and media across an opt-in federated network. Take Netflix, Spotify, YouTube, make them distributed and align the incentives and you get Orbiter.
  • Lis: An experimental distributed filesystem with intriguing properties, built to suit the needs of the Riff project and use cases that help support free information.
  • Starmap: Coming Soon: A live map of the public network of Defederation sites, showing the relationships between them and the world that they form.
  • Open: social and technical protocols for an open society powered by voluntary change and incentive alignment, based on Defederation

The Pioneer Ecosystem will be operated and stewarded by the future Riff.CC Foundation, as a public good.

If you'd like to get a Module built for Orbiter or would like to talk about any of other other projects, email wings@riff.cc or contact Bill from our team.
