Congrats, you reinvented PKI.

If it works for your usecase, great. But lets not pretend its any different from the things we were doing in the 90s.

Not only that, but reinvented it way worse… now it depends on GitHub (aka Microsoft).

We didn't reinvent shit! Everything we did is built off existing tech.

We reused PKI and extended it to achieve peer to peer web of trust. So there's both vertical trust chains via certificate signing and horizontal trust chains via a sigchain.
