RE: Homepage redesign, IPFS, Layout improvements and more

in About PeakD4 years ago

The new home page spells out things that are not obvious to blockchain/decentralization newbs like me. Many of those things are explained in other locations on HIVE as well, but here they are brought together to paint a compelling picture for PeakD and its underlying technology.

What are some of those non-obvious things (for me)?

  • Peakd is but one of many front ends to the same source of data
  • Accounts are yours and can therefore not be deleted (no central authority)
  • The data is not stored in a central location (this is actually one point that is still unclear to me. I understand it is or will be decentralized, many but where is the data stored?)

What could be improved?

  • Have the concepts that are explained be hyperlinks to pages with more info
  • add a blurb about data being 'forever', i.e. once you've made a post then after 7 days you can no longer edit or delete it and it will be out there forever. This will probably be a shocker to most new users.
Sort:  

You can edit posts at any time there is no 7 day limit... once upon a time there was but not for the last couple years.

Integrating more information will be good... baby steps.

Glad you like the rest of the stufd

Thank you for clarifying the changes in the time limit.
