laraddress: Federated Address Book

The first concrete step in leaving Facebook: a federated, user-owned address book.

2019 · Archived

A Laravel application for collecting contact info from Facebook friends before leaving the platform — and, more deeply, a replacement for the centralized social graph. Friends create verified contact cards with selective visibility by group. Planned federation meant two friends running their own instances would sync via API.

Built because the software Scott wanted didn't exist. Pairs naturally with the "Leaving Facebook: Why" blog post and the decentralist values section on /about.
