Replying to @qri_io
@qri_io is github for open data, built on @IPFSbot. Inspired by @b_fiive’s work in the 2016 environmental data preservation movement to simplify backup & usage of critical scientific datasets. ❤️🎉🙌
"Qri wants to build a #GitHub or Wikipedia for data. Building a new suite of tools, qri wants to become a hub for open data, so that in the same way people can check Wikipedia to read about something, they’re able to check qri to see the data on it." downtownbrooklyn.com/news/20…

Thanks for the shout out Molly! Qri as a project wouldn’t be what it is today without incredible work from a lot of people, many of whom we’ve worked with at @EnviroDGI, @Data_Together, @PublicLab , @protocollabs, and @codeforsociety to name just a few ☺️. We’re in good company!

I love our @Data_Together conversations because I can *feel* foundational concepts slot into place and shape my worldview. Thanks for a great conversation on decentralization (technical, political, philosophical, and social) today. Can't wait to write the blog post version.
