I would love to see a crowdsourced CDN/web host, organized as a nonprofit/NGO, that just provides basic network services to the masses for minimal profit. Kinda like a public AWS that runs on donations, grants, etc. It would tie in with municipal broadband setups (which can be edge nodes), have unmetered peering with other similar nodes, etc. Kinda like doing what credit unions do in the financial world but for the internet.<p>On the frontend side, I wish there was some sort of "universal storefront" app with amazing UX that can generically replace (via API or pass-through clicks) e-commerce sites with poor UX, like Steam or Amazon. By that I mean something super performant, with good filtering, clear price histories, no trash recommendations (maybe using open source and user-customizable algorithms instead). So many of these ecommerce sites have gone down the dark patterns route, I wish there was some frontend to just bypass them altogether, kinda like how we have alternative clients for YouTube, Slack, Discord, etc.<p>Both ideas are similar... copying big tech but de-shittifiying them with public effort and resources.
