What will happen in your session?
Ethics alone won't pull the web to a more decentralised future. We have to play to the strengths of P2P and find new ways to frame the weaknesses.
We'll show how to make great apps that happen to be built on decentalised systems. Apps not dapps.
We'll catalogue the challenges and opportunities and propose solutions with examples and working code using IPFS, Dat, Beaker Browser and SSB.
What is the goal or outcome of your session?
We want more app builders making great tools and services that promote data ownership, and can continue to function and scale without the burden of ongoing maintenance of centralises systems.
As an app builder, I want to publish open source code and release permenant apps that can run for as long as they are useful to someone, but not accumulate the maintenance costs that force me into adverts / data mining / billing them.
We'll work through the opportunities of co-hosting useful communal data, and the challenges of performance and availability when relying on the cooperation of peers.
