Our full documentation will be arriving before long, but we have a brief here for now: https://vaporware.network/

In simple terms: a personal server VM. But the deeper details matter:

A Vaporeware "ship" is cryptographically-owned, peer-to-peer cloud VM built on a Solid State Interpreter written in a purely functional language. The ship's data, code, state and event log are all persisted as a **single** value - which means you can "unplug it" while it's running, move it to a different host, device, phone, etc. kick it back on and everything is precisely the same.

Every ship is identified by a keypair (just like nostr) and encrypted. not your keys, not your computer.

With all that said, the upshot _for nostr_ is: Once there is a "nostr relay" app installed in your ship, it will just run, "forever", with zero setup or maintenance. A one-click personal relay that your grandmother could setup. Additionally: uploading and serving many gigabytes of large files is trivial (and fast as hell) - some of our earliest demos were S3-style services. This means that the same ship that is providing your nostr relay will also serve as your personal content host. And because of orthogonal persistence (https://ngnghm.github.io/blog/2015/08/03/chapter-2-save-our-souls/), data loss just isn't a thing.

(if you're still reading by this point...) On top of this platform we're building a system of software distribution so that developers can build, fork, update, extend, modify and **sell** code peer to peer with end users (and other developers). At the moment, we represent software packages as NFTs because there are a lot of useful payment and distribution primitives there, but our ultimate design for The Agora is chain agnostic (chain optional, even).

You might build an enormous google-like app suite, or just a better sort function primitive - either way other users can seamlessly include this new code in their ship by buying it directly from you.

I'll stop there :) Always happy to answer questions!
