Meet Mauve and their Agregore Browser
In this exclusive interview with Kayla, Mauve talks about their innovative web browser that integrates peer-to-peer protocols for local-first web apps. Agregore is not just any ordinary browser, it's a beacon of hope for off-grid communities and web programmers looking for a sustainable and secure alternative to traditional corporate browsers.
Agregore uses the powerful hypercore protocol to provide a community-oriented and decentralized approach to browsing. The project is mostly funded through grants and consulting work, showcasing their dedication to sustainability.
Agregore is just the beginning of Mauve's holistic approach to local-first software. They believe that technology should be utilized to address social issues and material needs. With Agregore leading the charge, we can promote sustainability and resilience in the digital world.
