When cars were invented, producing them in large numbers, operating them efficiently and comfortably would have been a major concern while anyone talking about safety would be ridiculed. As it turned out engineering challenges were sorted out by economic incentives but car safety/pollution control had to be legislated.

In case of cars though wrong design choices in older cars could be phased out eventually but in case of online platforms the choices will remain there for more number of people in terms of market penetration given the explosion social networks are having in the last decade. Even if vast majority of people prioritize other things over privacy, vocal and knowledgeable minority need to raise the concerns of the choices unknowingly being made by less knowledgeable people.

Nothing to do with that. This was Supreme Court decision and government will probably challenge it.

Even if Cryptocurrency helps in some dire situation arising out of COVID-19, facilitating cryptocurrency would be lowest of priorities for the government.

Apart from that Common Crawl respects robots.txt (which makes sense) so many sites you expect to see there are not indexed. Netflix, Facebook LinkedIn and many more. If common-crawl sees serious adoption those sites will modify their robots.txt but it's and chicken/egg problem.

I may have meant demo as a loose term meaning walkthrough of capabilities. It is definitely better than a screenshot.

According to Google demo (v) : demonstrate the capabilities of (software or another product).

I guess you found it useless. I would be happy if you can share your feedback to [email protected]

I am just trying to understand the difference. But why not consider Javascript extension of server side code. I don't think, anybody is stopping use of websites just because their back-end is not open source.

Is it because we own our desktop and we don't allow non-free code to execute on our machines? If not then it is just issue of proximity, your laptop vs distant data center. If it is more philosophical point that we should not use non-free software then using website running on closed source back-end is as much a problem as obfuscated Javascript.

Minor issue but "Edit your files locally to updated the site." should be "Edit your files locally to update the site."

One positive point is I got basic idea on what the site is and how to use it in minutes.

I don't know how you are giving results so fast but as other comment is saying, design doesn't do justice to the usefulness of the app. Good luck.

I think it looks useful. But I could not edit the existing project.

This is really novel concept and I hope it catches on as it presents many advantages.

Although, you have pointed it out in the comments, can't you enable iframing of the response so users are not confused. At lest, I didn't know why I was seeing blank frame.
