i frequently dwell on the state of the WWW, and i enter this same thought process triggered by the question:

why don't we just write our own web browser?

the intuition i have that drives me asking this question is not necessarily technical, or even principled.

if we can marshal ~10 million accounts on just mastodon alone, can't we drive enough of a network effect to fight for a more open web?

but at this stage of day dreaming i realise the whole thing, all of the web is kaput, really.

does the web need saving? why could do a lot better.
