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.
