One app I’d like to see is some sort of “Capture and archive” -app, with which you could save a site, or part of it, into the Autonomi network.

I don’t have competence to do it myself, but I think it might find some users. Some people willing to store what they have seen, some archiving their own sites…

Just an idea, if someone is looking for one.

can be just screenshots saving app in the beginning. Very simple I guess, and I like to archive lot of screenshots. Thoughts?

Screenshots would have an appeal of being small, cheap and fun maybe.

But then again, if it could be a “real” capture like Internet Archive is doing, there would be a possibility to create a standard, which could lead to a better use of the deduplication feature of the network. Anyone doing the same capture than someone before would get it for free. Screencaps would always be slightly different, and would need to be paid for.

I this way, the first app to create a good protocol for capture would have a decent chance to get a dominant position, as it would be cheaper for the end user in the case of the most popular pages. It’s quite likely that someone else has already captured it.

Also, there could form communities around various themes for capturing, and even a race to be the first one to scout a new site / post / publication… When being first, you would need to pay, but you could get fame in return. :wink:

Like, the first copy of this forum to the Autonomi network… who’s name it’s going to carry?

Like in the USA, isn’t there a lot of libraries in the name of some rich benefactors?
