Internet, from content to a place

This is an unfiltered placeholder for a concept I have been thinking about.

In the 90s, the web was mainly about content. It was like a virtual business card, newspaper, or gossip magazine. We had chats, forums, and messaging platforms, adding social interactions. It evolved from a few people talking on forums to almost everyone chatting online. Content creation and consumption exploded.

With mobile technology, the internet became a hub for interaction. During the pandemic, it turned into a place for work, services, and collaboration. The internet is now more about experiences and interactions than just content.

We can provide professional services through the web, like live or recorded videos, and platforms mimicking physical services. AI tools can create logos (Looka) or mockups (PlaceIt). Calendly manages schedules, and ChatGPT interacts with teams.

These are waves of technology adoption overlapped. So there are some companies that are still looking for their virtual business cards, while others are already living in the web.

Designers live in Figma, using it as their toolbox and community. For developers, we have GitHub and npm for content, and Discord and Dev.to for social interactions. But these are scattered.

We are creating a unified place for developers to live, work, and collaborate with teams, clients, and the community. This is our vision for Webcrumbs.
