Deploying a personal webpage shouldn’t require users to choose between running their own hardware and using a centralized cloud. Skynet changes what is possible.

Centralized storage is the storage of files, data and databases shared between computing servers over a network.  Indeed, it is also known as networked storage.

In terms of location, centralized cloud servers are concentrated in one or several places. In the event of a power outage or other failure, a large number of related services are often paralyzed, or even have the risk of losing the data for good. Lastly, the centralized storage is prone to privacy leaks.

In a decentralized storage system, instead of storing all the data in a centralized server, the data is distributed into different chunks and stored inside various nodes of a peer-to-peer (P2P) network.

Decentralized storage makes it easier to share files without sending requests bouncing all over the internet to a certain few data centers. Instead, nodes establish connections with one another using as few middlemen as possible.

Hardware is not easy for all.  It is difficult and time consuming for those who have little experience dealing with it.  When a client is expected to have their own hardware for storage there are challenges in terms of cost and more.

Further David Vorick also expressed, Skynet monetization solves the “no money in devtools” problem.

Developer tools are set of tools made for web-authoring and debugging. The Developer Tools known as DevTools give developers access to the internal workings of the web browser and web apps. Using DevTools users will be able to know the styles that are used, the size of the images, the scripts that are used, etc.

Every modern web browser includes a powerful suite of developer tools. These tools do a range of things, from inspecting currently-loaded HTML, CSS and JavaScript to showing which assets the page has requested and how long they took to load.

One of the most common use cases for Skynet is uploading files for reliable and decentralized storage.

The first thing they do is to create a client. The client by default will use the current portal that the app is running from. Skynet ensures that by default they produce code that is idiomatic for every language by following a good style, best practices and proper libraries.

The developers at Skynet are well aware that there is a lot more waiting to be discovered to ensure every user will be reaping the benefits of a powerful decentralized censorship resistant platform.
