It puzzles and saddens me to see all these apps being built on the old web when the same thing can be built just as easily, easier in some respects using the same skills and same business logic to run locally in the browser, and deliver privacy and security we want for ourselves and everyone.
What’s being built right now are like walls to secure privacy were one section is made of paper painted to look solid, but which offers no more privacy than anyone hosting a regular app. All to save getting someone to do a single download that opens the door to endless secure apps and saves having to implement and manage multiple wallets, IDs etc
You don’t need to explain the differences, obviously I understand that.
But we are so near to a step change, so easy to get there.
I find it very discouraging and am wondering what the point has been of all the work I’ve done to get here.
What’s the big deal here?
This is from my reply to @whiteout2 on his topic just now:
There are many advantages to a local Dweb server over a hosted app, for both users and developers, and ultimately - like the web browser - the AutonomiDweb App could be part of the OS itself.
A few advantages for users:
- one download for access to all Dweb websites and apps loaded directly from Autonomi
- access to every version of every website and web app they ever use so no risk of losing access to data through server overload, DDoS, expirey or takeover of domains, developer disappearing etc
- a single wallet and ID for everything, and the ability to have multiple IDs separate from wallet addresses
- privacy and security max - everything is end-to-end encrypted - no leakage, hacked servers, guaranteed access to their data forever and no risk of breaches, monitoring or leaking of data on the server
- no way to identify you by monitoring IP access to the server, tracking visits to the domain (which is routine in many countries now, including UK)
For developers there are also advantages:
- use existing web app skills, tooling and frameworks including hot reloading
- standard REST API for access to Autonomi APIs
- test on a local network before publishing to Autonomi
- Dweb handles the wallet (though this will need enhancing, and soon will wantPaymaster support, but I don’t have time to do these. It would be best if this moved from a one person project anyway, so I would welcome contributions and help)
Those are off the top of my head. I may make time to write a blog post but things are going to get full on for me real soon and so I’m cutting down my ambitions to small simple things for the time being. Maybe a blog will be a good use of time 
You can read my blog on Autonomi, download the AutonomiDweb App and enter ‘toast’ and click Open. Or you can read it at https://toast.happybeing.com. That is built using Publii which is very like WordPress but runs as a local desktop app and creates a static website you can upload to Autonomi as-is.
