I'm sorry. Could you include a bit less information so we could speculate more wildly?


And so it is as clear as is the Summer's sun.


Feed the maw that is a contract law justice system project.


I do wish there were a "this is what it actually is" comment.


Second paragraph my eyes landed on when opening the link: "Create secure optimized connections with a few lines of code. Between servers or services running on any cloud or machine."

Sounds like an VPN to be used on servers for connection between services. Feels like a pretty easy to understand explanation of what it is.

Actually pretty neat to have tunnel configurations in code, not that you can't have that without syntropy, but it's a neat little feature.


tldr It’s a hosted control plane for Wireguard VPN nodes.


that is only 10 percent of functionality. Another features are service discovery (docker, k8, bare metal), link optimization, visibility and monitoring, SDK and Network as Code tooling, API to manage your service connectivity and more will come.


Like Tailscale then?


This can be a useful idea, requiring a checkbox on password managers, e.g., "[ ] Pause for additional input".

No one ever answers how often security breaks are from: passwords being guessed, brute forced, or shared; client side compromise from malware, keyloggers, and first-hop IP session takeover; or server side compromise from poor custom code and poor infrastructure choices. Anecdotally, the chart leans to the server side security breaches.

In the absence of knowledge, we get two security talks repeated over and over. This is the first: do a better job with passwords. The second is "You are irrovacably insecure because of [some issue], but update your passwords regularly."

Security has not developed a reputation for being a craft or science.

It's really hard to get those guys to fill out questionnaires.


Bill Gates has a podcast recently talking about this: https://www.gatesnotes.com/Podcast/Is-it-too-late-to-stop-cl...

Also, the book "Ministry For The Future" is an SF take pulling together ideas people have on climate change. The actual prose may make you throw the book at the wall.

You can, if you wish, push information forward. For example, having free interfaces to solar panels, cheap sun following controls, software to control car charging for cheap times, software to use a car as a 'peak load' battery, data modelling to show Hawaii why tourism is better with only electrics, software to create micro cargo ships with solar power, cleaning up the automated kite power generators that were open sourced, and the like.

You have more power than you expect.


Why are landing pages so incredibly uninformative?

In practice, I spend under two minutes to click around and see if can 'get' it. What does it do especially well? What's the syntax look like? If you are brave, what doesn't work well?

No idea why this exists or why I would use it. Bad website. No cookie.


Hmmm....

Someone more passionate about open source usage could put up a brag site where products using open source and profiles of the authors of the open source are tracked. It would be of some benefit to the authors.


Hey! Not done! Won't hit commits! Awesome to know!


I wonder what this is? My very first impression is a standard boot screen. No details. No screenshots. No idea what makes it special outside of "it works". On the first click, it wants access to my calendar.

No. Mine.

This is flirting. Show me why I should be interested before I bare my soul.


Love the feedback! Because we're actually inside Gmail, it's pretty hard to show screenshots but we tried to describe the way the app works as precisely as possible. We'll add a demo video in the coming days.
