Exploring the concept of files > app deeper, it would be interesting if we were able to foster a culture of website apps writing to local storage with files (in a similar manner to Obsidian), and if we had a common format for doing so, with an open-source daemon that sync'd writes to and from that directory to e.g. some other folder. That would unlock ownership of data even in web apps. The daemon could be app-agnostic and just dutifully sync all the things.
