This has been mentioned before indeed I believe. It will inevitably be done once SAFE will be popular. The main challenge could be to get the SAFE DOM API working, i.e. the scripted interaction with the SAFE Network from the website. The static pages would be less of a problem. It’s similar to the many Tor2web instances.

I like this idea. But a SAFE Browser where you can create an account in minutes (if you want one) would also be great. Like you say, no setups etc. Just: here’s our browser, feel free to create an account.
Maybe a little 1-time POW-challenge as little as 5 minutes (like there now is for Vaults) for when people want an account. Just to prevent spam in the early days during the next alphas.
But it’s so easy for me to imagine that, quite some work to create it I guess.

You will need to trust the proxy though and know all your views are traceable in that instance. Still good idea, but we would need to confirm all the bad points and look at mitigating those.

It’s also like IPFS gateways.
What about a type of stock market, it’s basically stablecoins each backed by the individual stocks, so you need to trust a 3rd party, but perhaps even there could be multiple parties or companies that redeem these coins for the stocks for a fee, to mitigate any redemption risks.
But basically you would have like apple coin, that you can redeem for 1 apple share through some sort of system that someone would have to build.
Does this idea make any sense? We can add it to the list with the other potential community ideas.
It would close the loop and allow anyone to purchase and invest and own contemporary stocks completely decentralized, just thru blockchain.
Just like how they have projects doing this for gold today DGX etc
And similarly, eventually when even more stable coins exist for the different countries currencies, a decentralized blockchain forex dex could exist, which is currently the largest market in the world. Blockchain revolutionising finance like it was designed to. This part seems in the inevitable pipeline already anyway, as pieces come together

Was just reading news on the Yellow Vest protesters in France calling on their supporters to withdraw all of their money from the banks.
If something like this happens in the future when SAFE is up and running it would be good to have like a SAFE Grocery store online to be able to buy food with safe coins.

I just requested an app on the google form for a Safe ‘steam’ or safe game library. I think having a platform that could handle multiplayer and then creating specific plugins for each game engine it would give developers more freedom to develop for the safe network. Some other nice features would be user profiles, custom mod workshop, stat tracking, leaderboards, and achievements.Also, having one spot for all your games is a nice idea I hate how every game company now has its own launcher and even if you get it on steam you still need the launcher.

I’d really like to see a SAFE app that would basicaly does the same things that Google does with location history.
When I go on vacation, and when I visit a new area, I like to check which path I took with a good precision. But what I hate is that Google knows that also…

Who wants to write the first Lunar Lander game for SAFE based on the actual Apollo 11 lander computer code?

We had that on the PDP 10 at our uni and it was made into a game. That was back in the 70’s

One could even expand this to: a SAFE app that allows users to monetize their own location data. Location data presents an entire ecosystem of potential value. However, location data is highly sensitive. Outside of a dApp approach there isn’t a clean, efficient way for users to leverage their data (location or otherwise) more broadly in realizing greater value.

Also bio-metric validation systems. No need for your digital fingerprint/iris scan etc, to travel across wires to be intercepted. Keep it in the local machine/app and only in short term memory (hopefully encrypted). Right now all bio-metrics fail as they use servers etc. We can do better.

I posted earlier about a SAFE DAW, a digital audio workstation for the SAFE network. And I now found an open source project called Ardour. It could be modified to work on SAFE and compiled into WebAssembly so that it runs in SAFE browsers. And support for WAMs (Web Audio Modules) can be added. It will be difficult to make traditional plugins such as VSTs work in SAFE browsers, but the WAM format is a simple wrapper on top of web audio so that will work directly in the browsers.
I have no experience of doing these kinds of ports, but anyway, in case someone else wants to do something like that. Although performance needs to checked, to examine if web audio today such as with Audio Worklets has enough performance.
EDIT: There is also an open source project called iPlug2 that allows compilation into WAMs.
EDIT: Another open source DAW is LMMS.

Would a VOIP app could be implemented on the safenetwork? And how it could work?

Could be same like free payment and chat. Video calls probably too large.
It is suggested that the way to go with direct comms is for SAFE to securely negotiate the connection and the two either connect directly together or there be at least one relay node to scrub the IP address
EDIT: maybe an APP that the user gives it permissions can do this negotiation.

I’d like to be able to share my location and diseases I carry as exactly as possible, but without sacrificing my privacy. But is it really possible? Or: how to obfuscate the location without crippling the app?

Break the world in to roughly equal sized chunks, with much smaller chunks in cities and much larger chunks out at sea. In geographic mapping circles, this is called resolution.
Assign illnesses and number of people in aggregate to each “chunk”, then people know that within 100metres of them in a city, there are 31 people with Coronavirus, etc.
Uber published a great blog a couple of years ago about H3, their hexagonal / pentagonal map resolution system, it’s recommended reading for anyone who wants to provide performant information overlaid on a map at varying resolutions: H3: Uber’s Hexagonal Hierarchical Spatial Index | Uber Blog
