build. host. write.
salix.host is my corner of the internet. I build software, host privacy-respecting services, and write about technology and the open web. It is also home to a public Matrix server that anyone can join.

a home on matrix
salix.host is a small, public Matrix homeserver for decentralized,
end-to-end encrypted communication. Pick a username and you get an address like
@you:salix.host that works across the wider Matrix network.
- no email, phone number, or tracking
- open protocol and your choice of app
- run by a person, not a platform
