Yeah, one of our goals is to give people in Zimbabwe or rural Nepal or whatnot, access to an application as high-quality and fully-featured as something someone at a Western university has access to.

That's only possible through:

1) large charity -- which means they are permanently beholden to whomever provides the charity, and the providers can be censored or pressured

2) distribution of FOSS, combined with micropayments -- so, Nostr

The problems they face are five-fold:

How to gain visibility and a good reputation, if they are not from a large university or are private citizens?

How to ensure/prove that their data has not been tinkered, while presenting it in a reusable and linkable format?

How to store the data and make it reachable for everyone on the planet, with the storage nearly-free?

How to prevent censorship?

How to use powerful search engines and complex data discovery and navigation tools, including intelligent ones, on the data, without bleeding money or needing to buy hardware?

I think we know the answer.
