Urbit

First check outurbit/awesome-urbit: A curated collection of projects and tools in the Urbit ecosystem.

Urbit is basically SQLite + libp2p + blockchain PKI + rest API + WASM containers for apps. They use S3 for actual files….

Me getting started

I need software to run my ship

Releases · urbit/port

# yay -S port # failed
yay -S port-bin

I need my special phrase

Got my management proxy and master ticket.

I need a key from Bridge

Login, Select OS and click Download Keyfile

Put the keyfile somewhere so port can access it

Booting planet, I may need to factory reset on my shit cause I used it a long time ago

Waiting a couple minutes to boot.

  • Now what do I want to do with my planet once I get it?
  • Who do I want to get in contact with?
  • What kind of people do I want to talk to?
  • What kind of apps are there for me to run?
  • What kind of video would I possibly want to record showcasing urbit?
  • What is the urbit endgame?
  • What does urbit offer that is not offered anywhere else?
