@darius @garbados This is, in some ways, intentional. At present, we are not focusing on the end user story. Year 1 is about getting the core technical layers ready, with a developer-oriented p2p user agent. Year 2 we start extending outward towards more community things. Year 3 is trying to aim for Mastodon-as-of-4-years-ago style audience, the believer/activists or community members who need it, who are willing to put up with some rough edges. I don't expect to have something that the "average person" can pick up and use until about year 4.

However, if *you* want to learn more, if you do the following two things:
- Watch this talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8uqHCo10I8
- Read this paper: https://spritely.institute/static/papers/spritely-core.html

You'll start to see the path painted. but the user story shown at the end of the video and the low level stuff, how those two things join, that's coming. You'll have to look at my history of progress and suspend disbelief a bit to see that there's a good reason we're going so low level to deliver such high level power.

@darius @cwebber i think the closest i get to answering your question is this:

> No longer will we have to ham-fist our modes of relation into artifacts like blockchains or instances, gluing brittle access schemes atop them. By virtue of decades of compounded effort and expertise, we will at last able to code decentralized programs with nuanced permissions from the outset.

@darius @cwebber @garbados If you want a demo of what it feels like to use it I recently implemented a 'real' (or real-er at least) version of the blog example in the Heart Of Spritely paper. It was genuinely magical when we got all of the pieces working together :D :D
