You don't even need special software to set it up. Standard email autoresponder features make it work (see my demo).
- overdrivetg 12y agoIs there some reason this is better than being built on an existing protocol, http!? "It is quite technical to set up, but in the future if the technology becomes more popular we could imagine webmails making it easier to set up." The problem is adoption, and this seems to have the same problems as any other approach there, maybe more. Interesting thought, good luck if you keep pursuing it - sorry to be a downer but it seems like a long-shot IMO.
- mrb 12y ago"Is there some reason this is better than being built on an existing protocol, http!?" Yes: not everybody has a web space to publish HTTP data, but everybody has email. So intuitively building something on email has better chances of gaining adoption.
- k__ 12y agoI thought about using smartphones for this kind of thing. They are always online, like a web-server. Also, everyone can install an app. A server which runs on a smartphone and holds all your data and only friends and services you like, get that data. The biggest problem would be traffic, I guess, but it could probably be minimized with sending only deltas and p2p-meshs. This system could use a web-api to integrate better into current landscape.
