Hacking State 35 - Ben McCormick: Getting to Know Kinode
Kinode is a decentralized operating system, peer-to-peer app framework, and node network designed to simplify the development and deployment of decentralized applications.
Ben McCormick, a lead developer at Kinode, joins me to discuss the birth of Kinode, the need for backend tools in crypto, choosing Web Assembly for peer-to-peer computing, breaking out of the Feudal structure of Web 2.0 and creating coordination power outside Big Tech oligopolies, how to popularize permission-less infrastructure, getting started developing on the network, and the grand vision that is Kinode.
