Drumbeat | People and projects making a better web.

The open web is the most powerful communication tool in the history of humanity. It's the nervous system of trade, education, governance, activism and play. It allows a single idea to achieve global impact. At its core the open web is participatory, transparent, decentralized and generative. Existing content and software can easily be spun into something new. All without needing to ask for someone else’s approval or permission.

But we can't take the freedom of the web for granted.

There are many who would neuter or control the web we have built. Imagine an internet filled with devices you can't tinker with and walled gardens. What's at risk? Access. Privacy. The freedom to create and innovate.
