First there was Tom; there was MySpace. Life was fun, colorful, and had background music. Then came Facebook, which made life plain and simple, but connected everybody, not just teenagers. Soon there will be a new paradigm in Social Networking, where no privacy is breached, nobody is being watched, and the user is in complete control... I give you: Safebook!
History
When one thinks of a whole new internet like the SAFE Network, an obvious follow-up thought is developing a social network on it. This idea has been around for SAFE since at least May of 2014, when it was first officially stated on the community forums. But many have pondered this idea, and SAFE will provide many exciting oppotunities for such an app. Bye bye Facebook!
Features
SAFEbook (or whatever the person who actually builds it decides to call it) will be able to connect everyone in the world, without collecting any personal information from them. That alone is amazing. In addition, all messages will be between the users themselves, and not travel through any company's servers. That is also a great breakthrough for the people. Countless other features will be possible, such as video, audio, and even VR chat.
Launch Date
It was expected that the network would launch at the end of last year, (and this app soon after,) however an amazing new coding language came out called "Rust" that turned out to be perfect for the SAFE Network to be created with. So, the team decided to restart the whole network from scratch in Rust. This means we will have to wait a few more months to see the network or this app. Follow it on Github!
