22Tonk is an opinionated state management framework for coding with AI. It's analogous to Ruby on Rails, but for AI, and optimised for putting users in control of their data (rather than platforms).
23
24The principles guiding Tonk's development are:
25
261. Any app from any ecosystem should be able to call any data from any user (if the user permits),
272. Data custodians should reliably cede control to users,
283. The infrastructure should be immune to feature creep and platform degradation.
29
30Tonk achieves this with:
31
32- Local-first architecture
33- Integrations with your data*
34- Distributed access control*
