An open standard for household computing.

Quickring is a protocol first and a product second. The wire contract — not any one SDK — is the portability boundary, so anyone can build a conformant Quickring home or app in any language.

What's published

• The protocol. Session lifecycle, pub/sub, pairing, presence, and the feed convention, carried on the messagekit envelope. Protobuf over WebSocket, with a JSON profile for platforms without protobuf.
• Federation. How two homes discover each other, cross identity and capability grants, and stay private between consenting peers.
• The namespace. A Plan 9–inspired model — resources as files, namespaces per person composing into households and families. 9p in spirit, not on the wire.
• Conformance. A test suite and versioning policy so independent implementations can verify themselves.
