The last 20 years on the internet has been a story of “network effects” based on vertical integration & user data lock-in.
I strongly believe the next 20 will be a story of breaking down the walled gardens and of power shifting back to users.
Our laptops and phones are more powerful that the servers that powered the original SaaS companies. Running software (using containers and package managers) has become trivial even for the most newb technical users.
The pendulum is swinging back. It's time to free our data and our workflows from the SaaS prisons.
Open, interoperable, and decentralized networks are the future.
