Platform

At the risk of shilling my own project: https://github.com/Qbix/Platform It does a few things differently ;-) Feedback welcome!

That’s why we started the project https://intercoin.org The open source code is at https://github.com/Intercoin Documentation at https://community.intercoin.org Interviews with economists and regulators at https://youtube.com/c/intercoin Sound money, communities, similar to what this guy is talking about — but an autonomous and libertarian version of that. Because if crypto doesn’t step up and become actually adopted and useful, then we are going to live in a world where megacorps like Amazon/Facebook, as well as your friendly Federal Government, issue the currency and know everything about you and centrally plan who can pay and who can be … shall we say gently excluded from the economy due to their rating. This builds on my earlier work on https://github.com/Qbix/Platform to build an open source alternative to Web 2.0 platforms like Face

If you want to unravel async loops without leaks etc. I think you may want to steal this function: https://github.com/Qbix/Platform/blob/01604218d06ed158c921ab... (There are many other cool things in that js file btw)

Wow, I love both of these comments. I've been on the receiving end of downvotes after making helpful comments reflecting strongly-held opinions, that are the result of years of battle-testing them, and even building free software to put them into practice. Silent downvotes are maddening, and I often edit my comments to invite people to just disagree and give me their strongest arguments as to why they think my comment is bad / shouldn't have been posted / etc. I prefer they focus on substance, and I would welcome great counterpoints that I haven't thought of. But it's worse than that. Every time I link to the actual solution that I spent years and hundreds of thousands of dollars building, rather than just talk about it, I get silent downvotes. Watch, I will do it here: https://github.com/Qbix/Platform

DWeb is hard. We spent 10 years building this, and to offer the same things people are used to with Facebook or Telegram: https://github.com/Qbix/Platform

We developed an alternative to google and the services that it provides. It's part of a growing open source ecosystem that includes NextCloud for file management. If you want a totally free and open source alternative to Facebook and Google, that you can run on your own servers, you can find it here: https://github.com/Qbix/Platform

Except now it’s much more expensive and difficult to match what people want in 2021. You can’t just make a face book of ... “Profiles”. Trust me we’ve been working on https://github.com/Qbix/Platform and we only recently reached the point where people’s main complaint is the APPEARANCE hahaha

Given the interest in alternatives to centralized networks right now, I have decided to post this. Every few years we hear about the problems with huge centralized social platforms. They mediate and moderate all our interactions They control everyone's data, identity and brand They concentrate all the data in one place They get hacked / feed data to spies / advertisers They extract rents, brands pay to reach them They track us across the Web They can exert huge influence over our democracy And yet, we do not have viable alternatives to them, that would be good enough for people to switch to. I'm not talking about Matrix or Mastodon. It takes years to recreate a user experience that has all the features you would expect from these large platforms. At Qbix, we spent the last 10 years and reinvested $1MM of our revenues to do

As a left-libertarian leaning person, I believe that "the long arc of society bends towards collaboration rather than competition." I'm talking about: Wikipedia beating Britannica and Encarta The Web beating AOL / MSN / Compuserve / Prodigy Apache and NGinX beating IIS Linux beating Windows for tons of apps & archs Science beating Alchemy I mean, I believe it so strongly, I put years and reinvested tons of profits of my own company into an open source platform that would be an alternative to Facebook / LinkedIn / Google etc. (https://github.com/Qbix/Platform). And then I started an experimental project to "disrupt" our own company and decentralize the Web even further (https://intercoin.org). We still have a long way to go, but I think just like the Web unleashed trillions in value that could never be built on top of AOL, we wi
