digital twin
Broader concept lifestream implements: public-facing mirror of one person consumption
digital twin
Definition
A digital twin is a public-facing mirror of one person’s consumption and activity, assembled from the APIs of the services they use.
Expanded
Where a lifestream is the specific JSONL-backed
event store on me.oriz.in, the digital twin is the category —
the design pattern of pulling external service data (music, code,
chess, books, films, fitness, …) into one canonical home that
represents the person across the open web.
The family’s digital twin is intentionally read-only and public; user
authentication on me.oriz.in is only for the page owner’s admin
controls. Private journaling lives separately on journal.oriz.in.
