The Web is taken.

They control your data: Servers can change anything you send at any time: E-mails, medical records, private family pictures, social media posts, orders etc. You won't even notice it. Not only they can change, but you can also create new content as if they were made by you. Your history is written by them.

Servers do too much: They convinced us we don't have enough processing power and moved all the logic from our applications into servers. Even though a phone has an equivalent processing power than a single server today, we believe we must use complicated server architectures to achieve anything in the web. Phones are the cloud.

Everything is a rental: You don't own your domain name. It's a rental. Your server is a rental. Your digital certificate is a rental. You don't own anything. Your digital identity is a rental.

Data Silos force you to stay: Moving is too hard. They profit on making things just difficult enough to keep your around. After all, it's just 9.99 a month.

Enter the Verifiable Web

Own your keys, own your content. No one can write for you. No one can change what you write.

Sign everything you send. Every little like, every little key press. If it wasn't signed, it didn't happen.

Verify everything you receive. Trust the signer, not the servers in between.

You decide how data gets to you and where it stays. Your digital history is assembled by you.

Come on, despite I know my virtual private server (rental) my domain names (rental) and my internet connection at home (rental) won't last one day after my departure...

After migrating web applications to SPA, with the modern javascript web frameworks, they managed to sell the idea that processing needed to go back to servers somehow. It happens that they wanted to sell serverless servers, and for them it was convenient to move all back into servers so they would e...

Things are changing finally. You can now have your own server, your very own private cloud hosting almost all of your digital life, controlled, accessed, modified only by you. This is possible thanks to the amazing effort being done by the team at nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48um...

There is a reason client-server architecture exists and I think it's still a very good reason. The architecture isn't to blame for market capitalization. Some of us over here invest in hardware. The real cost of operating server hardware is the man hours. That's where they win. I pay so much less ...

We need to decouple Nostr from DNS. Address everything by npub, naddr, etc.
