Beyond Dapps and Code?
summary
Argues for building a new computing platform that treats data as first-class, not just replacing cloud with blockchains; proposes personal Solid pods to own and port relationships, and device-side Ethereum clients using Whisper and Swarm for private messaging instead of developer-run servers. Recommends OS-level network controls (Little Snitch-like gating), cryptographic tracing of data egress, and a composable type system for shared schemas and on‑the‑fly converters to eliminate plumbing and enable generated, privacy-preserving UIs.
