OOPs was suppose to help with the issue of programming lock in but for the most part it has not advanced to the point where you can interchange program pieces. I think we need to go back to the idea that software can be like building a building where there are basic building blocks that can be purchased from many vendors and let each vendor decide how to improve the blocks and let the architects and engineers decide…

the product "notion"

it create a new structure,page and block can be combined freely, i always think "notion" probably is a prototype

I've read a lot of discussion about "app barriers", but there's a general confusion about how such a "wall breaking" dream would work. We say that there are barriers to application because only the enterprise has the ability to develop applications, and this unbalanced entry barrier is the source of the world Wide Web's inequity. Applications are for the profit of enterprises, so only enterprises will build applications according to their own needs and profits. This is the core issue of web2.0, and also the key to the optimization of the future network. That means enabling everyone to build applications that suit their needs and profits with the help of Internet tools. So, if we go back to the basics, decentralizing data is not the point, and enabling everyone to build value scenarios with the help of the Internet is the real problem facing the Internet upgrade. When we have a clear purpose, all discussions and actions make sense! Only around the goal, all the streams will join a big river, and run to the sea!

So how can we empower individuals to build value scenarios?

1. A modular front-end UI design The modular front end can create all the value scenarios in the world.

2. Create a network of power and stakeholders for everyone All the benefits and administrative rights of the application must belong to the owner. Enterprises naturally have this management structure in the current network, while the network power and interest subjects applicable to everyone need to be redesigned. The design is simple, we just need to create a concept of "scene" on the network, the scene is the basic beneficiary of all management and money power.

3. Place the new structure in a scenario where it can empower For enterprise applications, the best scenario is the application market, while for individuals, the best scenario is their own life scene, is all the social scene, business scene, residential scene.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

If the user wants to provide a "non-real" picture, there is no legitimate reason to stop them.

What if i want a user to provide a legitimate photo as much as possible for instance ID/license verification for car sharing app.

Then you can't rely on the user's hardware. If you want to verify an ID or license, a photo is not sufficient anyway. Many security features can't be checked that way.
