How is web3 not a new approach to building web apps?
You might disagree with the approach, but using blockchain as the backend for an app is very different from previous iterations of the web.
- pbourke 5y agoThere have been plenty of new backend approaches since the term Web 2.0 was minted. The important change was a shifting from one request per view to multiple requests that comprise a view: it was the client/server interaction patterns that were important. The fact that you build your “web 3” application using Web 2.0 techniques (SPAs, etc) tells me that web 3 is not a thing. It’s another type of backend, and the web is designed to have those appear in perpetuity.
- fastball 5y agoSo if you specifically craft a definition to exclude web3 from being a new paradigm for the web, it (surprisingly) is not a new paradigm for the web. Interesting and constructive.
