From an outside critique of the stack. The high-priority items are claim precision (a hosted-DB service is not 'no server of record') and the positioning reframe (four primitives + Tessera as the proof they compose), plus the discipline to resist adding a fifth infrastructure layer.

BitBlocks — TODO
The umbrella site + narrative for the stack (BitLogin · BitGate · BitFeed · BitUnlock, and Tessera as the worked example).
Design review — external critique (2026-08-11)
An outside review of the whole stack (concept rated ~9/10). The concept is strong; the actionable notes are precision and positioning, which matter a lot for security infrastructure. Distilled, with our take:
Positioning
- [agree] Stop calling all five things "primitives." Tessera is an application built WITH the stack, not a fifth primitive. Reframe as "Four primitives. One proof they compose." — a PRIMITIVES tier (BitLogin · BitGate · BitFeed · BitUnlock) and a BUILT-WITH tier (Tessera, then future apps). A stronger story than forced five-way symmetry.
- [agree] Add one architecture diagram: Nostr / Lightning → the four blocks → Tessera / future apps. Communicates the whole project in ~ten seconds.
- [agree] Sharpen the thesis: "BitBlocks is an application architecture in which identity, policy, discovery, payments, and capabilities are portable objects rather than proprietary backend services — the client becomes the disposable part." Keep the hero line ("The web made you a tenant. Own the stack.").
Claim precision (highest priority — this is security infra)
- [strongly agree] "No server of record" overclaims. BitUnlock is a hosted service with a D1 database. Reframe the principle to "No platform-owned source of truth" / "Portable state first, replaceable services where services are necessary." Servers are allowed; a server OWNING the user is not.
- [strongly agree] Drop impossibility claims like "no one can delete your history." Relay retention is best-effort (BitLogin's own docs say so). Use "no single operator controls…", "portable across…", "doesn't depend on one host…". Audit every absolute claim on the umbrella page AND each block site.
Strategy
- [agree] Resist over-expansion. We have enough primitives. The validation goal is NOT a fifth infrastructure layer — it's a SECOND, radically different application on the same four blocks with no special-casing. Two unlike apps composing cleanly from the four primitives proves an architecture, not a product family. That's the north star; let real application pressure decide what the stack is missing.
