Wish we saw more of these apps, but sadly the incentives arent there for app developers, and you lose out on some of the benefits of shared global state. May I sell you a blockchain, sir?

lol i mean for apps that need indexed blockchain data! think along the lines of rotki or a basic farcaster client that indexes data directly from a hub

But wouldn't users be recreating that indexing work themselves everytime (and thus paying RPC credits), instead of it only having to be done once, if the app dev has a ponder backend, for example?

yes its definitely not the most efficient but cool for the sake of purity lol even just as a proof of concept, i think its worth having maximally decentralized ways to access open protocols

Open source frontend + the graph might be the most practical way to solve this without sacrificing purity. If the frontend starts to misbehave or is headed in a direction people do not like, anyone can fork and run it themselves / for others. But putting a WASM ponder instance in the browser sounds like a nerdsnipe for sure cc @typedarray.eth
