Open source
FreeLayer
An open-source research and development project exploring private, local-first and user-controlled communication.
- Role
- Creator & Maintainer

The problem
Many communication platforms rely on central infrastructure, persistent identities, metadata collection and decisions that users cannot independently verify.
The direction
FreeLayer explores verifiable policies, minimal identities, decentralised communication and architectures that reduce dependence on central backends and control.
My contribution
I define the project’s vision, architecture, policies, roadmap, documentation and security criteria.
Where it stands today
- Public GitHub repository, with vision, policies and documentation
- Active research on verifiable policies, minimal identities and local-first architectures
- Research & core development
Working on something similar?
Tell me about the context: in a first conversation we define priorities, constraints and the most sensible path forward.
