py-multiaddr is a multiaddr implementation in Python. Every choice in computing has a tradeoff. This includes formats, algorithms, encodings, and so on. And even with a great deal of planning, decisions may lead to breaking changes down the road, or to solutions that are no longer optimal. Allowing systems to evolve and grow is important. The Multiformats Project is a collection of protocols that aim to future-proof systems, today. They do this mainly by enhancing format values with self-description. This allows interoperability, and protocol agility, and helps us avoid lock-in.

OnionShare is an open source tool that allows you to securely and anonymously share files of any size, host websites, and chat with friends using the Tor network. There's no need for middlemen that could very well violate the privacy and security of the things you share online. With OnionShare, you can share files directly with just an address in Tor Browser. OnionShare works because it is accessible as a Tor Onion Service. All you need to do is open it and drag and drop the files you want to share into it, and start sharing. It will then generate an unguessable address which the recipient can open in the Tor Browser to download the files; they won't even need their own OnionShare.

Kinto is a minimalist JSON storage service with synchronization and sharing abilities. It is meant to be easy to use and easy to self-host. Kinto is used at Mozilla and released under the Apache v2 license. It’s hard for frontend developers to respect users' privacy when building applications that work offline, store data remotely and synchronize across devices. Existing solutions either rely on big corporations that crave user data or require a non-trivial amount of time and expertise to set up a new server for every new project. We want to help developers focus on the front, and we don’t want the challenge of storing user data to get in their way. The path between a new idea and deploying to production should be short! Also, we believe data belong to the users, and not necessarily to the application authors. Applications should be decoupled from the storage location, and users should be able to choose where their personal data are stored.
