I really look forward to interfaces that let me use my own index of data from my network. Manyverse[1] and Iris[2] are good examples of apps that will enable this more in the future. I just want to search “harry potter” and see everything

Complexity is something that is underrated especially in the crypto-currency world. They claim to be building for the next hundreds of years, but you wouldn’t know it.
