Think of a treasure map divided up into pieces, so that only by working together, we can win and find the gold.
A private web storage for secrets allows decentralized backing up / restoring of cryptographic keypairs, API keys, passwords, government identification, love letters, photos, health and medical data, and much more:
Who we're looking for
Designer: someone who enjoys
making delightful and surprising user interfaces
could talk about one of these things until another person has to get up and go to the bathroom: colors, mood boards, typefaces
doodles and sketches in their spare time
thinks about the user
Businesser: someone who enjoys
talking and connecting with others about cool ideas
someone who enjoy learning about differential privacy, federated learning, and private AI
someone interested in integrating with OpenMined
Short Project Description
In 8 weeks, a new user will be able to go from using only a standard browser, visiting a static page, see other peers who are online in realtime (including their friends, strangers, commercial bots), restore/link accounts to a new device, shard their ZK secrets, and self-report something (public health status, vote in an election, etc.) whose results will be aggregated, permanently published onto a public ledger, and viewable in an online-updatable map.
Team Bios
Paul Pham designed and implemented a pulse sequencer board for quantum computing that is in use in seven trapped ion labs around the world. He coded and organized the 6.370 annual programming competition at MIT. He started a hacker community house in NYC. He enjoys Python and Typescript, develops for Ethereum, designs distributed cryptography protocols. He implemented a zero-knowledge private trading system using the AZTEC Protocol, which led to his interest in privacy, the development of a ZK wallet, and the need for secure web storage. He's engineered software for Microsoft Research, Amazon, and Etsy.
Joseph is a frontend engineer developer with 5+ years of web development experience. He programs web and mobile applications using React/React Native and a couple other programming language.
SKILLS:
HTML, CSS (including preprocessors)
UI/UX Design, Vanilla JS, Typescript, ReactJS, VueJS, JQuery.
PHP, NodeJS, GraphQL, RESTful, React Native, Docker, MySQL, MongoDB
We like learning together in a focused but relaxed collaboration.
We like shipping, working on open standards that can benefit everyone, but marketing and branding it like a scrappy startup.
We supporting each other in growing and having fun.
We will attract our first true privacy fans by launching an engaging demo online (that works mobile-first) for private geographical self-reporting of patients for public health (e.g. chronic lyme disease), livestreaming some of our coding sessions on twitch, writing a zine and leaving in local coffeeshops / bookstores, writing an academic paper and posting to arXiv, holding meetups, teaching workshops, presenting at IETF / W3C / DIF standards body meetings, and giving conference talks, notably at Ethereum DEVCON, Web3 Summit, and Radical Networks.
