Oku – A Web browser with an emphasis on local-first data storage

Hacker News

Hello HN, My name is Emil. I'm a recent unemployed graduate, and I've been spending a lot of my time working on a passion project from my teenage years. When I was younger, I wanted a place on the Web that I could call my own—not a social media page, but a proper site. I was interested in the IndieWeb community for a while, but I grew to believe a P2P alternative to the Web made more sense than having people host federated services. My browser isn't production-ready, but I'm satisfied with the progress so far and would appreciate thoughts & feedback. Thank you!
