So, going forward, Auto Encrypt¹, Kitten², and Catalyst³ will be seamlessly (automatically; with zero config) supporting Web Numbers⁴ (IPv4, IPv6), and, of course, should you want to point one at your server for old time’s sake, legacy domain names too.

I still have some dev to do on this on the Kitten side of things but I’m hugely excited about being able to remove another centralised component – DNS – from the Small Web⁵ (peer-to-peer, personal web) as we inch nearer to making it available this year to everyday people who use technology as an everyday thing.

@aral looks like the Kitten link at ¹ should be posted at ² instead, and ¹ needs a link to Auto-Encrypt rather than Kitten?

Edit, never mind; I see that you've already fixed it, but apparently the edit hasn't propagated yet to the instance I'm on.

Edit 2: more accurately, the mobile #Fedilab client I use apparently doesn't update the cached post, even when refreshing the thread. :(
