We will show how to build a full Scala client and server application by illustrating it with a use case pushing the limits of what can be done: a distributed secure Social Web server. We do this by using emerging W3C standards: using JSON-LD for distributed data [0] , the Linked Data Protocol [1] as a generic web API, with WebID for distributed authentication [2].

In order to avoid duplication of code and to give us maximum flexibility we have developed banana-rdf [3] - a scala RDF library that allows us to elegantly write code that can be used both on the web client using scala-js and on the server, whilst allowing us to change implementation with one line of code. On the client we gain maximum speed with a scala-js wrapping of the Facebook React framework, allowing us to write clean functional code.
