Thanks to a passing comment in one of my posts, I've checked this project out recently and discovered that it's led by the author of one of my favourite books - Pull: The Power of the Semantic Web to Transform Your Business. Written back in 2009 / 2010, the radical ideas presented in the book made complete sense to me. Instead of pushing our data into the outside world, an individual-centric system could pull instead. Applications can be abstracted as services (which is perfect since tokenisation is now possible).
Seems too much like the right time for this to happen since an open-sourced project of this nature will unlikely get any funding and support it requires before blockchains came about. Very ambitious project that may displace the likes of iOS and Android. It's going to be interesting because I think David Siegel has deep insights and experience, having a long history with the Internet. The work culture he's building is also similar to what Valve Corp is doing with their flatland organisation - something I wrote about in length before. Check out the talk.
What are your thoughts about the project and its concepts?
