Beyond Decentralized


Mission

Beyond Decentralized projects enable Fair Data Ownership and Independent Software Development.


Fair Data Ownership

Persons, families and communities should have custody of their data.

Applications should access people's data to add value. Apps should not hold that data. This will happen when:

Beyond Decentralized projects are building an Internet of Databases. Each device has a database that participates in this Internet, securely and discreetly.


Independent Software Development

Independent Developers should add value to existing software ecosystems.

That'll happen when:

Beyond Decentralized projects are building frameworks for synergetic Apps. Apps that run on user devices and on dedicated or shared servers.


The Story of Beyond Decentralized

In 2015 I wrote "Hans the Organizator" (a family organizer) and realized that families would have to store data on someone else's servers. So I set off to first write an adapter for cloud storage where people could store data under their own accounts. Over time that adapter grew to become AIRport.

Eventually I made a conceptual breakthrough and I realized that Applications can inter-operate on user data. Applications can access user owned data and share it solely on the user's devices. For me, that changed how applications can be written.
