I'm thinking more along the lines of Bittorent or serverless IRC under the hood if I can help it. Blockchain is overkill for this use case, even if feasible (esp within an application-specific EVM network), since data organization is a pain in the behind without making things more needlessly complicated. Robot2600 posted... i can paint, write, and design. ive coded an Atari 2600 game from scratch in Basic. im not a pro software engineer or anything. Design's an incredibly valuable skill. Many software engineers have zero design sense as it relates to human user interactions; just look what Session Buddy did to their extension lately. CRON posted... I've mentioned it before but the easier solution might be to just use something like ProBoards. A forum-as-a-service platform is an option since many of them have remained online for decades, but they don't offer much developer control, and are ultimately at the mercy of the whims of the forum administrator(s) and the service provider. What I'd like is something that is indistinguishable from GameFAQs and runs forever so long as just one person cares to keep things going. Harpie posted... I run a few websites already. It'd be interesting to make a site dedicated to keeping the old internet style forums, and it could easily be done for under $50/month including domain, hosting and ssl cert costs. A simple donate button would hopefully be enough to fund it without ads, like how adblock does it. Hosting, SSL, and donations will be important, whether for a full-fledged old style forum/site or a trusted webclient. --- http://i.imgur.com/A0TAfek.png <cite>TheMikh posted [p:979923784] in Web develo...
