Where is the conversation on #dweb alive, other than technology-specific communities?

@ashfurrow I dream of a time when it's possible to communicate entirely over short-distance tech like bluetooth and wifi (however slowly). #DTN solutions (delay tolerant networking) like #briar work towards that potentiality.

Anyone talking about decentralized #serverless back-end? Like maybe #actuallyserverless. Functions could usually run locally. Seems like a good abstraction to make work for the #dweb. #dEn #deDn #decCn #decent9n

The web didn't model apps. Webapps were a hack, and the beginning of siloization. To fix, the #dweb needs to separate what the user does from how, so that how becomes a choice, no matter what.

Writing Python for the #dweb, you shouldn't import antigravity. The user could add antigravity to your function if they need it.

Free people have choice. The new #dweb must gather potentiality and sort best options. Attention is currency. Manage your budget.

To be free, we need high level building blocks anyone can compose programs with. Take a lesson from shell scripting, but level it up with the #dweb.

Everything closed is dead. If I can't open and fix it, I can be sure it will eventually break, if not already. Let's free ourselves with the #dweb with succinct, legible code, or nil.

Imagine using a web with no sidebars, menus, or embedded links. How would you have conversations, edit, and move between documents? This is the question we need to answer with the #dweb.

Connections don't need to stay open unless I know what I'm downloading. On the #dweb, apps/tools/links should be written to exit fast or give constant visual feedback. Kill everything that doesn't.

When I'm reading, I shouldn't have to wonder what the page I'm reading is doing. Let's make it impossible to misbehave on the #dweb.

#AppStores don't serve anyone well except Apple and Google. We can look forward to a free/libre #dweb where you don't have to install shit and submit to spam and fees.

What's wrong with the #hyperlink? It's embedded, it breaks, it runs on someone else's computer, and it's ugly. #dweb needs beautiful hyperlinks that live inbetween documents, live as long as they are used, and are free/libre!

The #hyperlink is what makes the old web great. #dweb needs to make it greater.
