It feels like a stretch goal, but definitely something I thought about and would like to see happen.
For something of that magnitude, making it compatible on tons of hardware and easy to install/maintain, I'd probably have to build a team of developers to ramp up development. It's still relatively immature software at the moment and my fingers can only type so fast :)
Heh, one step at a time. Just wanted to know what vision you're having while building this.
Hopefully as Steem gains more adoption, building a team around this project will be thing that can be supported by the community.
I sure hope so!
With both Reprint and chainBB, I see them as tools to empower anyone to run their own blockchain based website for whatever niche/community they are passionate about. Steemit itself serves as the central hub (much like reddit does) for content discovery, while Reprint (like Wordpress) allows people to build out their own media website and chainBB (like phpBB/discourse) would allow people to start building communities.
The sky is really the limit as far as these technologies go. Over the last year working on this stuff and exploring the possibilities of content-blockchains, I've never been more optimistic. I was part of the first .com boom - there's so many similarities here, and so many potential applications of tech no one has even considered :)
Don't hype me so much! I'm already a believer :)
The internet connected us and now blockchain is building on that by introducing trust to the mix. I do believe the impact will be as large as it was with the internet, possibly even bigger as we are already seeing governments planning to build cities that rely on blockchain technology and tokenizing assets. Few examples: Chinese government is looking into tokenizing their fiat currency and Dubai believes it will save tens of millions of manhours utilizing blockchain.
Seems like our wildest dreams will be dwarfed by reality. And I'm glad I get to be part of it as I happened to be a bit too young to witness .com boom!
Amen!
