Current web issues IMVHO are:

- it's not personal, yes we can save much contents, but it's not that manageable nor can be evolved much easier personally, we need a textual web, where anyone can grab text, store it locally naturally, change it as they wish. The "app" part should be just APIs and UIs;

- it's not immediate for anyone, yes we can buy a domain name, it's pretty cheap in most cases, we can use a ready made static website generator, but we do miss the most important part: IPv6 with a static global per host, so we can made OUR OWN WEB with our own friends;

- it's isolated, we have the modern web and WebVMs improperly named browsers for legacy reason, then we have desktops that act more like WebVM bootloaders than classic connected desktops, than some local apps, that tend to be limited and limiting. We need INTERNET much more than the web.

We need RSS for anything, with modern feedreader and a spread culture that content aggregation is a personal thing. We need easy to import data, pure natural language text and numerical data, so for instance if we go to our Amazon profile we can see a feed of all our purchase we can import in our reader, piping from it to our favorite financial software that also import other feeds from our banks/cards etc to make automation easy for things we can automate. We need data ownership, local iron in a classic desktop model.
