    I am also going to say that nostr has all these things in some alpha form or another. However, it is very much a mess right now and it is harder IMHO to connect with others or curate my feed with stuff I like.

    The advantage of small groups and fedi is starting with a small network and growing it slowly, this is more rewarding than starting with the whole world and trying to pull back.

    Nostr might have all the features but its a mess right now

    I agree. There is a potential barrier to entry, and growth. I argue:

    • people part with money for a cause or belief. Culturally privacy apps are different, inconvenient and unfamiliar UX, there are usually no 'email signups', not run by ads, or sales of data, and the software is free but has a learning curve. People do it anyways because they believe it is right
    • Its not unusual to pay $1-$15 for an app in a mobile app store. At least they can get their money back (it's actually free to use)
    • users can be compensated for 'rich' abusive actor, at the same time incentivised to report in the case of ie chat app
    • A sponsor couls risk their collatoral to allow access to a user who cannot manage the initial financial barrier

    The first point is the most important IMHO, privacy users accept the learning curve and inconvenience because they believe privacy is more important and because of this, I believe the burden is not as high as we think, that a 'free to play' alternative means of accessing privacy respecting apps (by this idea or something else) is as as essential to supporting and protecting privacy as E2EE vs server side encryption.

    I believe financial consequences can be very useful to make it expensive to spam or be abusive.

    For example, for a user to access an app:

    • The user is required to put up X amount of money as colatoral
    • The user can retrieve the funds if they choose to discontinue use of the app
    • If a user is reported for abuse, a small fine is deducted from their colatoral

    The user Reputation and distribution of fines:

    • if a user, has multiple accounts in good standing, the initial collateral to access new apps is discounted for good reputation.
    • The proceeds from fines can be distributed to the app's treasury or to users with good rep.

    Some sites are broken with a Firefox base.

    • the founder is controversial. so what? Does the product render pages with pretty good fingerprint blocking? Yes

    • crypto exchanges are under scrutiny and brave uses crypto. so what? does the product render pages with decent cross tracking isolation? Yes

    • their crypto has little value and was a failed experiment so what? Does the browser remove ads? Yes

    No different than syncing to a server. Many video calls are implemented with p2p up to a certain amount of participants. Text is less demanding in comparison. I've not dived into the code yet but p2p relays typically just coordinate what IPs need to connect. In your case, once the connection is established the phone is directly transferring data with your laptop. No server in between.

    Yeah waiting for this too! I've not dug into hosting the node yet, I wonder if any one has or if there is even documentation for it. I don't see a way to point the app to the another sync node. Could be I'd have to compile the front end myself to point it to another node

    Yep. I've not tried it yet. Finally came around to playing around with it though. What I noticed is by default it syncs to the backup and I can't figure out how to turn it off yet. That said the files are decrypted locally with the keys made when the account is created. About to look more into the privacy policy.

    I like affine.pro and appflowy but both were not really usuable last I tried them. The self hosted options are barely functioning so at the end of the day it's just local. For a nice looking self hosted wiki I got outline working after tinkering for some time. Affine has been promising!

    In their FAQ they explain making money initially by offering paid backups. What's interesting is their future plans, their vision of a cooporitive ecosystem or whatever, they make money off namespaces/domains, publishing/work contribution, in addition to the backups. This is of course if it gets engagement like notion, it will demonstrate ways to make money from an open network.

    If you're betting on the tech culture moving to decentralized services this could be a way to have a foot in it.

    They tout it being made 'local first' all data would then be stored locally so the user can access it offline. The 1 GB limitation is for paid backups which a user doesn't have to do. If I wanted a backup, I could just share p2p share from my laptop to my PC for example. Both would have copies.

    The p2p relay is a way to coordinate p2p connections, data doesn't pass through them. Once a connection is made between my laptop and my PC data is transferred directly.

    On the topic of the p2p relay it could expose IP addresses and device meta data. I've not done digging yet into the relays. But then again most DHTs do and even something like synthing has relays like this.

    Will need to check the UI and post again. The buzzwords are directly speaking to remote work culture and a migration away from central services. The ecosystem, their plans to make money off that network are an interesting way to get ahead of those market movements. I'm not opposed but I am suspicious of it.

    Skiff was kind if a disappointment when it came down to it. Using decentralized storage web3 privacy buzzwords but finding different ways to vendor lock and track.
