Wendy Hanamura, Paul Frazee, brewster kahle

10 years ago, the Internet Archive convened the first Decentralized Web Summit in San Francisco 2016. Now, we've invited five of the original Builders to look back & look forward with us:

Your Decentralized Social Blog Site: Introducing OnionPress
brewster kahle

A Decentralized Web Server that combines WordPress + Tor + Wayback Machine.

What if publishing a website required no hosting provider, no domain registrar, no cert, and no one's permission? OnionPress is a free, open-source Mac/Linux app that turns your laptop into a WordPress site running as a Tor onion service, the Wayback Machine makes it always-on. Install it, and you have a blog, a file-sharing gallery, and a globally-reachable address — all from your own machine, no cloud, and no way for anyone to take it down.
