I absolutely agree, and it isn't even a scale, it's multi-dimensional. There are many different little problems that the internet solves, and they could also be solved with many different little alternatives.

this is an interesting take. you are right a lot of stuff currently solved by internet can be done differently to the same effect. didnt think of that at all but ofc once you have a tool ull start applying it to lots of problems even if its not strictly needed.

I am releasing my music player into open beta this week! I’ve been working on it for a year or so, created my own language, engine, and network protocol to make it all sync wirelessly, and with no AI :) https://github.com/mjdave/katipoBrowser

> Today, personal or community websites are rare, and are run by a dying breed of enthusiasts. Now our communications and our memories, our photos and our videos, our precious data belongs to Meta, Apple, Microsoft, or Google, stored behind walls of ads or subscriptions. The web infrastructure is now too complex for individuals or small organizations to operate at a low level, and it is owned and controlled nearly exclusively by large for-profit businesses.

So you recreate the internet from scratch?

I didn't see the music player, but that's frankly much less interesting than a parallel world internet: all that's needed is a new browser.
