    I mean why? Like there are things I think might be neat that is only really fediverse capable (like the idea of the everything app, by accessing the same data but through the users preferred UIs rather than reposts of screen shots or opaque links), but if someone sees an idea they like, why not run with that too?

    We don’t have to use luckly (its was n3ver my cup of chai).

      I’ve thought about this before, if every website had a data section with the raw data and a UI section that was capable of being swapped out. Like some sort of composable setup. I think it’s a really promising idea and I even think a prototype wouldn’t be too difficult to build. Although I do think that the context of where a post was made is important, and is carried intrinsically with the data in a screenshot.

        I agree there too. I think the idea of different contexts would have to evolve to make sense where now the silos act as their own windows.

          In a way it’s like the concept of files and programs from the desktop world. Each type of content would have an agreed-upon structure and meaning, but is capable of being opened in different “apps” to view, edit, etc. In fact, you could literally implement it that way, which also allows you to do weird stuff like download content and save it on your own computer.
