I wonder if something like a social IoT device could get traction? Ie sell people something like another router that lets them have their own profile hosted only there and accessible only through others peoples devices after a “handshake” of sorts?
- iLoveOncall 4y agoI don't think the average user gives any damn about the privacy of their data and would see having any physical device as a step backwards.
- ianai 4y agoQuestion is whether enough demand exists for meaningful use.
- madrox 4y agoI’ve heard this floated for a decade. The current product of that line of thinking is mastodon. It’s a profile you can host on your own server (or someone else’s) that has sharing functions.
- alar44 4y agoOh sure. Everyone just needs to self-host their own website. That'll definitely take off.
