After recently discovering Gopher and falling down a deep (gopher)hole of exploration, I’m convinced that it, or something similar is a great alternative to the commercial web. What a volunteer-run co-op which sells food in bulk bins is to Walmart.
Simple, fast and open. The exact opposite to something like Urbit, which while it might be open source is designed to be as closed as possible.
Incidentally I recently found a good Gopher client for iOS has some rough edges but is definitely one of the most usable clients.
