DESCRIPTION:li-nk is a social platform for planning and discovering activit
 ies and events. Members create and propose activities organized by interes
 t\, then connect with others who want to join.  li-nk is actively develope
 d and worked on signficantly through the #tcombinator at toorcamp 24'\n\nI
 nterests range widely\, including outdoor adventures\, arts\, technology\,
  sports\, food\, wellness\, learning\, games\, and community causes.\n\nli
 -nk grew out of a simple observation on Orcas Island and across the Salish
  Sea. People often live near one another and care about the same things\, 
 yet never cross paths. Rather than organizing around follower counts or fe
 eds\, li-nk starts with the activity itself\, so community forms among the
  people who show up. The guiding idea is easy to remember: develop your in
 terests\, *find* your community!!\n\nli-nk has strong geographical capabil
 ities to help find activities currently across the USA\, strong privacy co
 ntrols. Custom E2EE encrypted video\, voice \, and messaging implementatio
 n supported through the olm / megolm encryption protocols. Li-nk currently
  provides an android client through a Google Play internal testing track a
 nd is waiting for Apple to approve a developer account to publish an iOS r
 elease.\n\nCurious individuals may try the demo at [demo.li-nk.social](htt
 p://demo.li-nk.social)\, no signup required\, or learn more at [li-nk.soci
 al](http://li-nk.social).\n\nli-nk contributes back to OSS projects which 
 it employs at https://github.com/li-nkSN . Notable contributions include: 
 the Zoned UID feature to the Open ZFS kernel supporting rootless container
 s employing the OpenZFS filesystem\; A greater than 60% reduction in compi
 lation times for the ProtoQuill  integrated query library\; Improvments to
  the Caliban GraphQL library including GraphQL Spec conformance and serial
 ization helpers. \n\nli-nk is dedicated to MrPrim8 (RIP) who ran a 2600 ch
 apter in HS in SWFL in the 90s. Moved to Seattle metro in the 00s. Was par
 t of the Seattle 2600 scene. And lead developer (PNWsoft) of the ConnectU 
 platform developed at Harvard University counterpoint to "The  Facebook" .
  In many ways\, MrPrim8 was remarkably mature in his twenties. Growing up 
 with MrPrim8 I really looked up to his integrety and values. I believe li-
 nk is a platform Winston would be proud of.
