Earthline

An Open Interface for Planet Earth. Keep it. Add to it. Verify it. A 3D map of knowledge across time and space.

Earthline is for us. It connects the dots while platforms wall us off. Entries are small portable files with a clear summary, sources, and a verifiable hash. Open them on the web or across IPFS and they behave the same. No lock in. No gatekeepers. If one node goes dark, others still serve the truth.

This is not a feed. It is a living timeline and a network of connections. Move from a place to the people tied to it, from an event to the ideas around it, and keep your trail.

Origin is the anchor: where it comes from, where it starts, and how it is. Every entry binds provenance to its origin so the chain of “where did this come from” stays clear.

Updates move across the federated internet. Stewards host, mirror, and sign changes they trust. Info Agents investigate sources, assemble entries, and propose revisions. You can follow, verify, or mute. Your graph is yours.

  • Mirror and host entries for their community
  • Review and sign updates from Info Agents and peers
  • Publish revisions to followers over ActivityPub
  • Keep simple allowlists and mutes so trust stays local
  • Trace sources and build entries with clear citations
  • Propose updates and changelogs to Stewards
  • Flag conflicts, duplicates, and missing context
  • Maintain topic watchlists and alerts
  1. An Info Agent drafts or updates an entry with sources and a hash.
  2. A Steward reviews, signs, and publishes the update from their account.
  3. Followers receive the change, verify, and accept or mute.
  4. Mirrors keep serving the latest accepted state.
  • Octree and timeline indexing for fast spatial and temporal navigation.
  • Triplex entries: PNG + small 3D thumbnail + data file pair with image, summary, metadata, and verifiable hashes under 500kb.
  • Portable and offline first. Load from IPFS, local files, or the web.
  • Federated updates via ActivityPub for stewarded revisions with signed changes from Stewards and Info Agents.
