Great piece from Robin Berjon a few years ago: "The Web Is For User Agency"

Open systems are great for user agency.

The web is one of our best open systems in technology.

The web has faded in relevance in recent years, but it is still there.

Used every day on nearly every consumer device on the planet (at least, ones that have a screen).

A slumbering dragon of possibility.

Just waiting to be awoken and roar back to life.
