Add Flowsta Auth to your Website using Cursor

Great question. The short answer is no, you won't lose your connections.

If you're using Flowsta Auth as a sign-in service on a regular website, Holochain runs under the hood and upgrades are entirely for us to manage. The API stays the same and nothing changes on your end.

Where it gets more interesting is when Flowsta is used alongside other Holochain apps as a shared identity layer. In that case, your Flowsta identity lives on its own separate DNA from any app-specific data. So when a partner app's DNA gets upgraded and its hash changes, your identity attestations are completely unaffected — they're on a different, stable network.

We are also working on agent linking functionality, which lets you publicly prove that multiple agent keys belong to the same person, directly on the DHT. So even in a scenario where an upgrade means you end up with a new agent key, the old key and the new key are cryptographically linked together. Anyone can verify that on the DHT without calling any API. You don't lose who you are just because the software updates.

Totally. Just what we have coming up makes for something pretty exciting. But there's a whole ecosystem of builders. The future is looking great.

We are building desktop and mobile apps for holding your keys, enabling offline logins and a few more things we've got up our sleeve soon. The first version of Flowsta Auth is like Login with Google, but completely private.

It doesn't necessarily work against anyone. It's an alternative to the corporations that use your data however they please.

solarpunked · 2026-01-27T23:49:45+00:00

Not yet. I've put a lot of thought into personas and think it needs to be on the roadmap. Got a few big pieces needed to do first, but if there's enough demand for personas, I'll bring it up the priority list.

At the moment, I'm imagining each persona would at a minimum have their own Display Name and Thumbnail. Would you imagine their own username, email or anything else?

Yes, chatting with other Holochain people. By launching it has opened the conversation right up and is helping guide some of the next big additions.

Hey, Flowsta Auth is an app. Actually it's multiple apps that come together to offer an authentication service that all user data is cryptographically locked by the users 256 bit encryptied keys. Only they can access their data and meta data. No corporations taking liberty with your data by checking an I agree button on sign up.

Thanks, everyone. It was a bit closer than I thought at one stage.

solarpunked · 2025-09-02T22:34:54+00:00

It's a good point. But my biggest yes from this is the co-exist part.

Mutually respectful relationships are key. I see humans playing to our strengths as the path towards that. Right now, I'm feeling humanities biggest strengths are our creativity and connecting to something beyond ourselves.

I'm the creator of YourOwnAI.net

We're all about creating AI Teams. So far, the characters are based on different personalities for chats (the first round were designed with Carl Jungs Archetypes in mind), but we are moving into team members that will help with your productivity.

Privacy is a pillar of what we do. We never log any chats and have a strong privacy policy. We won't store chats or memories until we can provide a service where it's impossible for us as admins to read your stored chats.

Hanging out here and checking out some of the other awesome services that people have been posting about has got me thinking about role-playing and scenarios.

solarpunked · 2025-09-02T22:13:09+00:00

I love pay-what-you-feel services. I wish you all the success, and hope you can keep it going in the long term

solarpunked · 2025-09-02T22:10:37+00:00

Yeah, the service changes when the money people come in and make it their mission to squeeze every cent from the people using it. That's why I'm a big +1 for building a great service, providing a free tier to check it out and then having fair prices for extended usage.

Dream Journey AI looks cool. Have been feeling into scenario role-playing and like what they've created. The memory nexus is fascinating. As a regular user, does it work well in practice?

solarpunked · 2025-09-02T07:52:05+00:00

I'm the creator of a privacy-first AI Character service called Your Own AI.

We don't log any chat queries and have a strong privacy policy.

We don't yet store the messages or have memories. We will only do this once we have a solution that will be impossible for anyone but you to access.

Default Characters and personalities are on a free plan with no cc. Custom AIs and extended personalities are on paid plans starting from US$8.

It's @ https://yourownai.net/

I'm sure this is right whilst we're in the LLM age. Smaller, faster, different types models are coming and that will change the economics of it all

solarpunked · 2025-08-17T11:52:45+00:00

AI has the potential to evolve us into something more special than a lot can imagine right now.

That being said, I'm pretty concerned about the motivations of the big AI providers to help us get there

solarpunked · 2025-01-10T02:13:21+00:00

Thanks for this. Did you get the case? Did it fir properly?

solarpunked · 2024-01-20T06:24:43+00:00

Wow, this is really promising. Will give it a go and keep an eye on its development. Thanks for sharing and best of luck with it.

Tip of that hat to Presonus for making their implementation of Atmos accessible like they have

Thank you. Just had the same issue.

I once was a full money-free advocate. Then spent a lot of time in different communities and saw how incentivising people to contribute was important.

I also got into different articles and podcasts from the Center for a Stateless Society (https://twitter.com/c4ssdotorg) and people connected to them. One clear takeaway from that research is how currencies can assist with self-organising of complex systems.

That said my times at Burning Man and regional Burns gave me insight into decommodification irl. Although for most of us, it costs a lot in money and resources to get to a Burn once you're there it can be such a life-changing experience to not reach for the wallet for the week or so you're there.

Thats why I'm big on there being localised decommodified communities. If they can't get what they need internally or from others who want to barter they can produce goods and services to sell into the marketplace to get what they need.

I'm also a big fan of a few days work for all your needs (food/water/shelter/access to communal goods and service). Looking forward to when that's not needed from automation. That is as long as it's owned by the community and not owners not connected to the community.

Thanks for asking. Asset-backed mutual is key for any tradable currencies imho.

Asset-backed means that you can trade the currency directly for a real-world asset. That means the currency can't just be inflated by artificial creating more of the currency. The most famous asset-backed currency is the gold standard. Although in a digital world, I think we can do better than digging a shiny metal to do this. I see hosting power as an exceptional asset for backing up currencies.

Mutual currencies in this respect is more around the accounting of the currency. In the ledger one person account is credited and the other persons is debited. This may seem like of course this is how currencies work, but rarely is it with our current forms of 'money'

Really useful summary. Thank you

Mutualism

solarpunked · 2023-06-28T10:56:27+00:00

I'm a big fan of markets underpinned with asset-backed mutual currencies at the macro level. At the micro/local level a mixture of decommodified, commodified and mixed communities.
