The geek bubble
None
None
None
It’s the beginning of a new era, in which it
is widely accepted or ignored to be under total observation by governments, secret services and corporations.
“Conspiracy theorist believes that he is not being observed” –
Headline, Der Postillion
“Dad, why did nobody react when all those details about
the NSA were leaked?”
It only matters when it really hurts. We can’t risk
to wait for that.
Who’s fault is it?
Those who build the web destroy the web
None
Aral Balkan – Digital Feudalism & how to avoid it
cl.ly/S3qI
The industry of bandwagon jumpers
We want to build the next Facebook…
The most intelligent people in our industry waste their time
on crap
Those who build the web can change the web
We don’t need any more data silos We need our
own digital homes
Self-hosted!
srsly? SRSLY?
SRSLY?
Language? Database? Extensions? Permissions? Installation? Updates? Security? RAM? Disk Space?
Email Setup? Backups? Failovers? Background processes? Payment? etc.
SRSLY?
SRSLY? It’s the only way
SRSLY? protonet.info
SRSLY? filetransporter.com
SRSLY? We need the same foundation for all possible alternatives
SRSLY?
None
SRSLY? Let’s connect the loose ends
The outside of the box is only accessible in dreams
Forget all the constraints of today's browsers. Then write down
the code of your dreams for all the tasks you need to build your app. This is dreamcode. nobackend.org hood.ie
None
A dream An open server OS for self-hosted web applications
and services
Working title Grand Decentral Station decentralize.it
None
Managed hosting 1 On your own server 2 On a
box at home 3
home.yourdomain.com
The system handles the tough parts installation/updates/configuration/servers/etc.
Powerful APIs for developers
noBackend philosophy HTML, CSS & JS
A frontend library* that seamlessly integrates with all the backend
functionality of the OS. *let’s just take hood.ie :)
Super simple app packaging
Business-model-able
Endless possibilities
This is not a silver bullet
Nobody will ever use it if it is… — more
expensive — more complicated — more ugly — more inconvenient …than what we use so far
Security is not a USP
It is a chance…
Your crazy dreams of today can be reality tomorrow
dream it. do it.
