Interesting. Major problem: Either existing services need to shift gears to support this third-party that reduces their control over data (when often, your data is how they make their money), or else new equivalent services using said third-party need to be made and meaningfully dislodge them (difficult, inertia is a thing).
- TimJRobinson 10y agoThese services already have apis that give up the data. So anyone could build data extractors that allow you to regularly pull your Metadata from them and store it in this new datastore. Only the consumers of the data need to change their behavior. If there's easy to use libraries to access the data store and enough demand for it then more and more consumers will adopt it over time.
