Blockchain has some solid properties, don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.

#32Sort of on a tangent to the actual content of the page, but what documentation system/CMS is this particular web page UI? It seems very fast and relatively uncluttered for the menu on the left side, content pane, top horizontal menu bar.
No sure I agree on fast. At least on mobile the sidebar has an show/hide slide animation that takes a sizeable fraction of a second. In fact is one of the slowest animations for this I have seen. I disable animations entirely on devices I use where possible. They just waste time and that adds up if you use something regularly.

Re: Bluesky Protocol Services
#36I wonder if it would be a good idea to remake DNS on top of bluesky. The basic idea is that, if you own a domain name, you post DNS updates in a bluesky feed. The firehose itself is authoritative. DNS servers sit downstream of the firehose. All the updates to domain names get written into a database, and they essentially just respond to queries hitting that database. This would let anyone (with enough bandwidth) run…

#39Neat protocol, shame about the users. Also the VC-backed funding for this infrastructure will run out eventually. It's not self-sustaining, and Bluesky have no viable route to profitability.
