> no spam, no captcha, no sign up, no passwords, bring your own identity I tried one of the projects listed there, and it required me to log in. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

No sure which specifically you tried but for I too, saw a "Sign in" on https://diffuse.sh/ and you just click it and choose the storage basically.

I'd like to see this applied to online advertising, making cross-site tracking against the law and forcing advertisers to bid per real-time request for user data and the money is paid to the user themselves. Currently advertising platforms make more money by allowing advertisers to better target their ads. I have nothing against this as long as I'm paid for access to my data at the price I think is right (might be MA…

This cannot work without having an unique ID identifying you. Netflix cannot sign the content you watched.

I have a unique ID to netflix, I can be authenticated through that because I know my netflix credentials. They do not need to know my "data pod" ID for this - the server just needs to reply to the data pod that queried it with the right credentials.

Depending on "data pod" implementation you could also have the "netflix.com" managed fields only be editable by a call from "netflix.com" API, which I then decide to approve for bidding or not and at which price, without me being able to directly edit those fields. Basically write-only from the vendor side to prove authenticity.

>My government could authenticate that I am indeed from country A, and my pod's data would be signed by them This is gonna happen sooner or later, but I really don't like it. Once most users have a cryptographically signed national ID on their PC, a lot more websites will require you to provide it. Sites like Netflix that region lock media will force you to show your ID just to sign up Won't be long before companies…

I bet that'll come with an uptick of piracy then.

From the list I love draw.io. It asks for login, but allows the export, has a client that can be downloaded and works just fine.

I also love draw.io (now diagrams.net). Additionally it can be self-hosted if needed and it has a well built API for integration with other systems.

Login is not required by the way, You can choose "Device" or "Decide Later" when presented the save options.
