Distributed systems are not easy to build. Developers everywhere need to unite to establish the tools that organizations can use to thrive. Our data management tools are the shoulders upon which giants will emerge.

If an app needs an internet connection to open a file you created… It’s not your file. It’s theirs. Take back ownership of your data.

Source Network helps devs deploy edge device networks that work on their own constellation of local logic, not reliant on the bustling bureaucracy of upstream requests. Proliferate fast with Source Network.

Keep your software running where the action is happening - on the device itself. Keep your software close, make it run fast, and control your data lifecycle from start to finish.

Why is your digital life all rented space on another organization’s machine? All your creations just sit in the ether, unowned by you. We have the (distributed) keys. Move on and move in.

Fight for your rights. Governance at the field level. Access by relation, not role. This is what data management looks like when you treat systems as living organisms.

If your systems crash, so does your business, and anyone who relies on you. Build resilient systems - build better worlds.

Apps should work when the servers don’t. Imagine a world where that’s too much to ask - oh wait, that’s our world. Local-first means functionality that doesn’t ask for permission, that is self-reliant, and which delivers to users and developers an internet that works for them.

Is the server up? Is the API honest? Is my data being sold? Fearful questions. We just have to trust the answers we’re given. If we build trustless systems. If we own our data from the get-go. We may never have to ask the questions we’re so used to asking again.

Compliance isn’t a grubby word; it’s essential. It’s not just a box to tick, it’s an existential risk to organizations. Keeping your data lifecycles compliant can be costly, especially if your data lives on the cloud. Keep your data where it belongs - with you.

Everyone is worried about where their data goes - but you can’t always tell where it’s been. Here's how Source Network helps you handle data lifecycles, build offline-capable apps, and enhance protections across apps, users, and developers. source.network/blog/first-cla…

It’s not just about who owns the AI model. It’s about the training data, the inference pipeline, the output. If you don’t control all of them, the AI doesn’t serve you.

The cloud makes it easy - until it doesn’t. The cloud makes it cheap - until it doesn’t. The cloud works for you - until it doesn’t. Start distributing your stack away from cloud reliance and restore sovereignty to your application and its data.

The sky is filled with drones, the road with sensors, your wrists with health trackers, your ears with pods, and your pockets with your smartphone. Edge device networks proliferate daily, and so does the software building on it. We must create infrastructure that allows for

Owning your data isn’t just about principle, it’s about profit. The people holding it hostage sure aren’t doing it for fun; they’re doing it to make money. Take it back. Make it yours. Create data environments that serve you.

Local-first apps eschew API reliance and the levers of control they exert. Local-first apps don’t ask for permission; they act. Enshrine privacy, security and sovereignty in your infrastructure stack.

In a data-driven world. The faster it can move, the more responsive your systems can be. Cloud latency isn’t just an annoying hangover, it’s a bottleneck on intelligent systems themselves.

Modern gaming is better - and worse - than ever before. Always-on DRM connections. Licensed software. Permabans that rescind your digital collection. Local-first means the ability to create brand new gaming environments that empower player ownership in the digital worlds you

Imagine an AI Dungeon Master who remembered your behavior from the last session and adapted as a result. Local inference for AI models could lead to persistent reactive NPCs that know you and react accordingly, and, with local-first, that data isn’t in the hands of the game

We’ve lost sight of what decentralization truly is. We drowned in buzzwords and forgot to forge towards the future. By moving power and control from the center to the edge, by building participatory economies and systems, and by restoring individual sovereignty - we can create
