Why build this?

To provide every human with their own copy of humanity's most intelligent information.

What is the World Wide Scroll (WWS)?

The WWS is like the World Wide Web, except:

Intelligent. Built not on HTML, but from the ground up in a simple, expandable language, designed for both humans and AIs.
Offline. You download entire sites and browse completely offline locally, rather than fetching one page at a time.
Pristine. No ads, no paywalls, no trackers, no cookies, no copyright. The WWS and all content on it is public domain.
Human first. Instead of anonymous domains the WWS has folders owned by verified humans.
Trustworthy. Source code and change history behind every page.

Install the WWS client

git clone https://github.com/breck7/wws
cd wws
npm install --omit=dev
npm install --omit=dev -g .
wws list
# Fetch a few sites:
wws fetch scroll breck pldb
wws open

The WWS client currently requires Node.js. More clients coming soon.

Register a Folder

The World Wide Scroll beta is live!

You can now register a root folder in the World Wide Scroll!

When you register a folder in the WWS, you become that folder's "Editor".

The Editor is the person responsible for updating the metadata about that folder.

Registration funds go toward the development of the Scroll language ecosystem. A portion is also distributed to the "WWS Reps" who help onboard and maintain the community.

After you register your root folder, check out the Getting Started Guide.

Fine Print

A purchase gives you the rights to control a number of lines in root.scroll, including choosing one unique unclaimed alpha-numeric id which is the name of your root folder, as well as rights to update that folder information for ten years and renewal rights.

At any time you may change your folder name to a different unclaimed alpha-numeric id.

All updates are subject to approval by the World Wide Scroll reps.
WWS Folders can only be reserved by individuals.
The WWS is for high quality, non-anonymous content.

You must use your real name and a real email address when registering a folder.

This information will be publicly visible in root file (root.scroll).

Limit 5 folders per person.

The WWS discourages name squatting and content not edited by humans.
If you maintain high quality folders and hit the limit, you can request a higher limit.

Changes to your folder information may be made by pull request or communicated to your WWS rep via email.
Folders must adhere to the Guidelines

Values

Art. Calmness. Courage. Freedom. Fun. Intelligence. Laughter. Love. Science. Truth.

These are the words that guide The World Wide Scroll (WWS).
