Federated Clouds & New Tech
With the Open App Suite, the goal is to provide open source (or in house) alternatives to popular apps that anyone can access and have more control over their data than with traditional providers.
I previously discussed decentralization and web 3. Blockchains and public ledgers are just one way of decentralizing our digital lives (and non-digital lives via tokenization of real world assets).
Another project I am working on hosting a collection of federated cloud apps. A federated cloud and blockchain are similar in the sense that any one can have ownership over their own data, but takes it a step further in allowing anyone to host their own software (such as our very own forum.openappsuite.org - invite only for now) and still have it connect to other servers so users can still have a diverse experience with others on the internet.
For example: imagine having your own twitter/X app with your own rules, users, etc... And you can connect to other networks so your users aren't siloed off to content only on your server.
With the Open App Suite, the goal is to provide open source (or in house) alternatives to popular apps that anyone can access and have more control over their data than with traditional providers. Eventually we can combine federated clouds and web3 tech for a safe, private, and self-custodial data experience while doing all the things we are used to doing online.
I'm excited to get the Open App Suite out of beta and start getting real users! Stay tuned! I'll be integrating this tech where I can with my existing business, and making it public when possible.
