Most wanted APP for the SAFE Network

Apps
609

SAFE DAW (digital audio workstation). With the new AudioWorklet it’s possible to produce high quality audio with web technology. I don’t know if the SAFE browser has that yet, but Google Chrome already has support for AudioWorklets.

To develop a full-fledged DAW such as Pro Tools or Ableton Live is a huge project, but the SAFE DAW can start as a very simple app where functionality is added over time. And already existing open source technology can be used such as Web Audio Modules (WAM), which supports both JavaScript and Web Assembly that can be compiled from C++ code (and now even Rust I think).

I think something like the SAFE-Med, and SAFE-rent apps have immense potential. If there is any more information on the likes of them I think it should be able to reach a wide audience.

I’ve actually had this idea before where when SAFE gets compute you wouldn’t need a high end computer to have resource intensive plug-ins the pros use and just pile them on, bounce the song down and there you go. Really glad you shared that @Anders. How cool!

SAFE TV - it would re-broadcast all TV all over the world for small fee starting with content like Netflix to become cheap place to watch sport matches in high resolution later.

SAFE DB - would combine movies database with all information about actors like IMDB with option to watch from last sight scene plus option to pay directly actors to SAFE DB account for all actors and people involved in making video.

Now that github as been bought by microsoft, showing the weakness of a centralized hosting platform, I would definitely say that a safehub would be great.
And I’m not only thinking about git repos but also about docker files for example.

I think that would be great to show to developers the strength of decentralized internet through useful apps for development, so would first host their project on safe network and then maybe get interested in it.
Here are other apps I would find useful for developers :

  • SAFEVoip/messaging/video-conference ( a thing like discord, with integration for developers )
  • a lightweight. project and task management tools ( I think to taiga.io, for example ) : SAFEproject
  • an collaborative document editing tool : SAFEmarkdown/SAFEtex/SAFEpad or better, a tools that combines latex/markdown editing as well as WYSIWYG editing )

I also think that in order to be adopted, safe need to be added in firefox. So a firefox add-on would be great.

And a last thing : as I think that the strength of big companies are their ability to provide a coherent ecosystem ( you can easily have interactions between their tools ), I would think that an universal communication protocol between applications would be great. You would have the output, the inputs methods, and then, other developers would be able to build “connecting applications” that would make multiple applications interact with each other.
In that way, we would be able to build big modular applications from a bunch of small applications.
( yeah, that last point sound a bit utopic :stuck_out_tongue: )

I’m also adding : an app that can replace this thread :angel:
An application where you have threads for each applications and where you can vote vote for it ( like reddit ), meet developers/designers/… interested in the project, add comments on each application thread, add features it should have, …
To sum up, allow everyone to collaborate to think and start the creation of new applications.

A kickstarter for decentralised apps of some sort? ‘KicksDAPPer’?

I like it…you have my vote. :wink:

This is very much the purpose of all of the SOLID stuff you will see mentioned from time to time on this forum. For a very simple example of this principle (not using SOLID), see my app safe://checklists

Wow :open_mouth: that seems to be awesome. Thank you for the information. I’ve read the word SOLID earlier on this forum but havn’t really understood what it was.
I’m really happy to see such amazing, ambitious and working projects :smiley:
Since I came on this forum, I’m less and less pessimistic about the future of internet :slightly_smiling_face:

Could there be a point of sales system for a bar or restaurant?

The creation of a solid developer’s community is probably the most important goal for now, they are the creators of what we use, after all.

When a truly free, censorship-proof, universally accessible, sustainable SAFE Network is up and running I want to see a wiki-type website and community which comprises all the fantastic features of the MediaWiki software, but which isn’t hampered by its shortcomings, including its tendency to form lobby-esque consensus communities that manage to foist their special interests onto the whole community and project.

In addition I want this website to be open to expansion and recombination in any direction: add all media ever published (even private communications and binary files for those who would wish to do that, for whatever reason) and organize it, make it searchable, index it.

I want this website to feature deep levels of customization, even to the extent that using one module instead of a different one for the same general purpose, might make it partially incompatible with other existing modules.

I want rfc-like standards that will have to compete with each other, perhaps carrying the quality of backward and upward compatibility, perhaps adhering to some existing standards, or not.

I want different models for user identity integrity to be tried, different models for conferring/earning trust. Models for giving out merit points based on activity and popularity and perceived authority.

I want to see competition between module-clusters with convenient translation tools for users wanting to jump from one to another or to gain full or partial access to another in addition to where they already have a membership. Of course, any module-cluster community may set up that no member may connect to module-cluster “Z”, even if that module-cluster provides all the tools for practically doing so. And indeed module-cluster “Z” may even devise a “secret” work-around making it, at least on the outset, possible to stealthily join them and at a later time transfer their full “basic user” identity (if such does exist). Perhaps people may have identities at different levels where those who choose one universal user identity, across all applications will receive the credits and trust becoming to such openness and transparency.

I’d love to see a framework ready for individuals to begin chronicling their local municipalities, local politics, the parties, the individual politicians, which again would trigger and encourage citizen journalism. And the same for companies, not just those which Wikipedia would deem “notable” and to any minuscule level of detail. And products, documenting individual products ,their quality, their market share, customer comments, media coverage, comparisons with competing products. And books and all other sorts of literature…

This would be a catalyst for so much human-to-human activity and community involvement!

Please people, make this happen!

SAFE Route Planner

If only there was a client side route planner that could consume open data.

Oh wait…

Remember your magic 8ball is supposedly answering your question so the answering sentences cant be totally random and need to make some kind of sense. For example: “Will I ever find love?” Cant be answered by “Carrots are orange.”

Well sometimes it will hit and sometimes it won’t. But in my own experience with a few different oracles used pretty compulsively it can be astonishing. So much so that I just accept it now. It taught me early on that the right answers were good and the right questions better but even with both together, given the human condition, it may not be enough even for personal situations. But very good as far as it goes even to the point of enhancing trust.

I’ve been having some time to think over the holidays.

This is not a one single app or website idea more of a thinking out loud and strategising the process.

The purpose of this thread and of course the ideas in general are to come up with essentially a method to target and attract new web traffic into the SAFE Network.

I think we need to look at other models and learn from what others have previously done.

Tor attracted users who wanted to buy and sell drugs and other illegal things.

Bitcoin attracted people from a variety of interests, money, computing, cryptography, politics, economics etc.

OpenBazzar was like a combination of the above.

What we are doing is similar but yet different were not repurposing anything. We’re not targetting a type of crowd to buy X or with an interest in Y were saying the current internet is shit, we have a new one.

But still, how to engage people that make the effort?

All of the biggest sites on our current Internet had this same problem originally. Users. How to keep users attention for just long enough.

And most of them admit to filling their sites with content and discussions in order to attract others who also want to contribute but also make it seem like a fun party to be full of people.

It’d sure be sad to see all of the effort fail if people decide to visit and once they show up no one is there.

I’d like to propose that along with all of the wonderful ideas people are sharing and aiming to work on that all of us at least collaborate on the one thing and I think that should be a forum. Or like another member said, a bar. (The Pub)?

When people arrive if they can be welcomed into a place that is full, buzzing, lively, action filled, they can ask questions, we can help them out, point them to cool things, and generally just offer a place to be social I think that would give this safe project the legs it needs to stand on.

The other examples I mentioned had something similar. Tor provides access to a couple very well known forums and marketplaces and who hasn’t heard of the bitcoin talk forum?

If we all agreed and achieved at least any sort of consensus before we all start filling the network with unicorns and adventure rides I think that would be a good thing to agree on. A forum of sorts. As a welcome page.

Not sure about “Most Wanted” but a “Quick’n’Easy” app for someone with the knowhow would be Safe Pocket. Pocket, now owned by Mozilla, is a really convenient way of saving articles for future online or offline consumption. It converts them into a Markdown-like format for easy reading. I use it all the time to save and catch up with interesting stuff on commutes and holidays. A one-click way of saving articles or sites from clearnet to SAFE via a Firefox / Chrome plugin and SAFE Drive would be very nice - and possibly even currently doable?

One Idea I think I may have raised before for someone more qualified (feel free to take it and run) would be a clearnet website that acts as a kind of proxy viewer to the SAFE net.

This way when discussing, sharing, linking or doing any sort of media or anything of the sort on the clearnet we can say to folks “here check out some of the cool things on the SAFE net” they go to the site, they have a look but for full features they obviously need to DL and setup SAFE.

Even if something like this is not technically possible I think a lot can be done with images and video.

I think for many people this step feels much easier than downloading and setting SAFE up, you can quite easily capture more people with this method I think.

Of course there is the issue of us not having anything good show them in which case they get bored and this stuff this, waste of time.

But nevertheless still a good idea IMHO. I’ll pat myself on the bat :slight_smile:
