**TL;DR:** Build a mesh of networks that lets users choose the services and apps they want to use, and the networks they want to use them over, for a more decentralized internet infrastructure that's less susceptible to censorship and has fewer single points of failure. <br><br>**Description:** The internet, too much of it run by a few players. Reduce the reliance on big corps and governments to provide internet infrastructure by building a decentralized, mesh network that can connect any devices across diverse networks. Something that lets users choose the services and apps they want to use, and the networks they want to use them over. This increases security and resilience by having fewer central points of failure and control.<br><br>The app lets you create and share different virtual networks with people you choose. You can set up private or public connections, depending on who you're connecting to. There's built-in security across all connections - think encryption, firewalls, and regular updates - so you can use the internet with peace of mind. You can even set your own rules for what data leaves your devices and which networks can be used for which services and apps.<br><br>It's a network of networks, so if one goes down, your internet connection doesn't have to. Imagine mesh Wi-Fi networks, but for the entire internet. <br><br>**Why it's important:** Big corps and governments currently control a lot of the internet. This mesh network expands our options by letting us pick the networks and apps we want, and how we use them. It's not just about privacy; it's about having a resilient internet that won't break if a key part of it fails.<br><br>**Why this hasn't been done:** There have been attempts, but it's hard due to the complexity of the internet and the need for a user-friendly app that lets you control all of this easily. Currently, existing solutions are either too complicated for the average user or too centralized to truly be a mesh network.<br><br>**How to make it happen:** You'll need a team of network architects, app developers, and security experts. Start by designing the network topology, then build the app that lets users manage their networks and connections. Don't forget to test for safety and scalability.
