Financial apps would make more sense as blockchain model is quite secure at least for now! I highly doubt that Facebook and Twitter are running toward a situation where they lose their corporate agendas. I miss the open web. Can we have it back please?

I don't know how long you've been in web development but there once was a 5K contest for HTML which cracks me up now. I also believe that our developer tools have confused a lot of people. We would benefit for free, consistent EDU for content creators who offer webdev courses.

You can feel free to resent me for that if you want I'll give you full permission to do so for leaving the project as lead. I bear that burden anyway. No way is it pleasant or a happy ending to a time of optimism and growth instead of the dark despair and agony now.

Pay for what? We were volunteers. The membership model of the w3c however was a problem and it is very obvious now. Despite a lot of good ideas the connection to universities limited Financial endeavors like courseware, conferences, more value incentives for membership retention.

Not only that, people like me who spent most of their time in w3c working groups as invited experts had to pay for everything out of pocket and travel the world in order to do so it was a difficult thing to pull off but mentorship, and lifelong friendships? Priceless!
