Funny. You just described a perfect fit for Urbit.

Urbit seems to try to provide a centralized, personalized model for application services. I don't think centralizing is the way to go, mainly because my entire digital life is dependent on de-centralizing all my services. They try to make it out to be like some kind of container you can put anywhere, but that's like saying we should all use one kind of bag for everything we ever need to carry in our daily lives. There's good reasons I have 10 different kinds of bags at home.

Open to flood poisoning.
