Unhosted web apps: freedom from web 2.0's monopoly platforms

I like this a lot and would love to attend one of the events.<p>I created Servant (<a href="https://www.servant.co" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.servant.co</a>) as different expression of these themes, with an emphasis on convenience, as well as user and developer experience.<p>- A Servant hosts your data separately from the apps you use in the cloud. (Centralized, but there is more to it...)<p>- You can connect your Servant via Oauth2 to share your data with any app.<p>- The data is kept in fixed formats to promote using the same data across multiple applications – <a href="https://github.com/servant-app/json-archetypes" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;servant-app&#x2F;json-archetypes</a><p>- You pay Servant by purchasing API Requests to transmit data. Your fees are passed through Servant to the developers of the apps that put your data to use via API Tracking on Servant&#x27;s end.<p>– Further, apps get access to users&#x27; credit card information and can charge users without needing to prompt them for payment information.<p>– And much more...<p>My skype ID: austencollins

serious question: how does this work for something like Facebook? Things like Facebook and Twitter don&#x27;t work well in a decentralised fashion (Does Lady Gaga need to be able to deal with 4 million concurrent connections for all her followers?).

The only party interested in making this happen is the user.<p>Given the fact that:<p>a) until today, the commercial service&#x2F;app&#x2F;device&#x2F;app store providers have always had all the market power (and it has gotten even worse), and<p>b) lots of users currently still don&#x27;t seem to care about privacy,<p>how do you see that concept gaining serious ground?<p>EDIT: (other than for niche situations like human rights activists, journalists, whistleblowers, etc.)

Reminds me of project Diaspora.
