Let open source and independent network applications become a feasible ecosystem

Open source network applications exist.If you work hard enough, you can find open source online document editors, RSS readers, and even some social networks.But even in technical personnel, few people seem to use this, maybe because they need to run their own servers, and few people have time, patience and professional knowledge to do this.Sometimes it is difficult to build a business case around a specific goal.

The small application written by the random author in the spare time exists on the desktop and mobile devices.But on the Internet, it doesn't seem like this.Any important services including server -side components can only be run by funded companies.In order to make open source software meaningful, users must run their own instances.Software is service and open source web application together. It is meaningless: If you can't run the modified code, it is not a real open source, and the high -standard entry threshold will refuse the project or nothing to monetize.

The only solution is to ensure that everyone has a server where they can install any software they want.They don't have to manage the server -it can run by friends or services -but each user must be able to install any software.And the software must be securely sanded to prevent the remaining part of the defective or malicious software damage to the server.

Today, the sandstorm has made non -technical end users install and run any software on their controllers.Applications can be downloaded from the application store, and then installed with one click, just like installing the application on the mobile phone.Each application runs in a safe sandbox, without permission, it cannot interfere with other applications.
