Hi PH 👋 The internet got centralized, boring, and extractive. We wanted the opposite: something more like a potluck — everyone brings a dish, everyone shares, nobody owns the room. Seamside is a workspace where every byte lives on the machines of the people using it. Open a space (a shared canvas), press Cmd+K, and drop in a frame — a little sandboxed app. Notes, whiteboards, chat, games, or one you build yourself in the built-in Frame Workshop (with AI help, if you want it). What makes it different: * No server, no account. Your identity is a keypair on your own machine. Pick a name and you're in. * Peer-to-peer + offline-first. CRDTs over direct encrypted connections. Keep working on a plane; it reconciles when you're back. * Share to anyone. Flip on public sharing and a frame or whole space opens in any browser — no install for the visitor. Flip it off and the door closes on the next request. * Frames travel. Move a running frame — data folder and all — to another of your devices, and every share link keeps resolving. Mark a frame CC0 and anyone in the space can clone it and remix it. * Always-on, if you want it. The same binary runs headless on a 512 MB VPS. Zero inbound ports, one-line install, signed self-updates with automatic rollback. It's free, on Mac / Windows / Linux, with mobile coming. Built by two of us over the past year at Small Craft. We'd genuinely love your feedback — especially the weird frames you make. https://seamside.com

What would you make if your app had no cloud bill, ever?

My friend Matt and I spent the last year building Seamside a creative workspace where every byte lives on the devices of the people using it. No company servers. No accounts. No storage tier. When you and I collaborate, my machine talks to yours, directly.

We're launching it on PH soon, but I'd rather talk about the thing itself than the launch.
