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.
