Project Showcase: OmniLingo

There are many educational applications for learning a new language. There are none, however, that take advantage of Web3’s capability for open-source collaboration. OmniLingo (opens new window) is using IPFS to enable language activists, language learners, and language instructors to form their own decentralized communities for under-represented languages. Find out more about how you can try the application and maybe learn a new language here (opens new window).

Senior Software Engineer (opens new window): Distributed systems engineering lies at the center of many projects at Protocol Labs. With IPFS, libp2p, Filecoin, and other related projects, we are laying the foundation for a more resilient, more secure, distributed version of the web. This requires rigorous engineering from protocol design through all the phases of implementation. We strike a balance between pragmatism, deeply informed protocol design, and strict application of strong engineering principles. All of this happens in an environment defined by curiosity, passion, and a love for open source. Protocol Labs, Remote.
