Willow is a set of protocols for independent digital spaces that keep working when scaled down and keep deletion and privacy.

It sets the frame: what the protocol is for, and which trade-offs it refuses to make.

Willow is a set of protocols for running your own digital spaces. Small private networks, next to big public ones.

It is built to scale down. A lost signal. A disaster. Two laptops and a cable should still work.

It keeps the things peer to peer systems usually give up. Deletion, most of all.

Others can carry your data without reading it. And you can find people who share your interests without telling the world what they are.

Four parts. A data model. A capability system called Meadowcap. Sync. And drops. This series takes them one idea at a time.

Check yourself. Name two things Willow keeps that peer-to-peer systems usually give up.
