After weeks sailing the digital sea, an infinity of islands appears on the horizon. You see cozy homes lining the beaches, hammocks resting between trees, and small boats waiting at the docks. People are shuffling to and fro, crafting their homes, visiting friends on other islands, and surfing the waves in their free time.
Your boat beaches itself on an empty island and you hop down to the sand. Looking around, you see a perfect spot for a small house facing the sea.
Micropelago is a project which aims to give everyone - not just tech wizards - their own private island in the internet, an island which they truly own. With this foundation each person can fully realize the power of the internet in their own lives. This includes (but is not limited to!):
Is it a big dream? Yes! But it's an achievable big dream, we only need to build the tools to bring it to reality.
Development is still in very very early stages, best described as "pre-alpha", aka "tech wizards only". The roadmap provides a bird's-eye view of where Micropelago is going.
The current primary focal point of development is Isle, which will form the foundation of all other aspects of Micropelago.
Micropelago is committed to remaining an indie open-source project for its lifetime. This means no business plans, sponsorship agreements, premium services, or crypto tokens. In short: no money, no third-parties.
Development is being primarily carried out by mediocregopher, with betamike providing code hosting and QA.
