Pacific is the digital interior for your online presence. Peer-to-peer messaging, forums, and events, embedded into your existing website, or linked from your Instagram page. We’re an expanding set of p2p tools for financial transparency, marketplaces, search, and long term projects. You can visit a site, or join as a member. No more email newsletters or janky contact forms.
End-to-End Encryption keeps bots out and your community in. We don’t sell or share data, and the protocol means we can’t. Your info lives on your devices, backed up into a thousand tiny pieces.
Pacific is a protocol, wallflowers is an operator. Anyone can run a Pacific instance, and we don’t need to know.
We believe the internet was better before power concentration. We are committed to building the tools to make that happen.
Sites have Owners, Admins, Groups, and Guests. Set per-thread visibility to keep your inner world private, and public visibility for the things you need to share. Set up site affiliations to organise members, federate decision making, and delegate.
Find skills and knowledge in your network with peer-to-peer search. List your own skills, rebroadcast to peers-of-peers via multi-hop discovery.
The Pacific newsfeed comes from your peers and the sites you’ve joined. No algorithm, no centralised control. As well as direct messaging, participate directly in your communities, getting their events, listings and articles delivered by push.
Arc is an open source relay, delivering packets with 0 knowledge of the sender or the recipient.
