The first step is to demonstrate decentralized curation of a simple list. No need for the categories and the hierarchies and other complexities. Those will be added later. For now, the challenge is to curate simple lists in a GENUINELY DECENTRALIZED fashion.

I claim — and this is a bold claim — that my app does that right now, today. But it requires us to scrutinize what qualifies as “genuinely decentralized.” Which is why I need people to play around with the app and see how it works, under the hood, and tell me whether my claim is justified.

Actually, for starters I just need to know if anyone can even get the app to launch 🤪😂

I'll try to play around with it when I have some downtime this weekend!

If it isn’t working out of the box for you then let me know! Right now I’ve got mac and linux builds. I can add a windows build pretty easily if you’d like.

I'll see if I can run it on my ChromeBook

ChromeBooks are linux-based, right? I have an AppImage in the v0.1.1-alpha release that I think should work. You’ll probably need to change the file to executable after you download it. Or of course if you don’t like to use AppImages, you can always just run it in dev mode, although the app will take a little longer to launch after you install it. You’ll just need node and npm for that.

I'm gonna jump right in and see if I can install it now!
