You're not alone in thinking this (and I was one of those Demon customers back in the day :-) ). I've had pub chats with many tech folk over the years about how we might enable this. It needs to be cheap, of course, like 5 USD pa cheap. But, perhaps, with today's container tech that's viable. It needs other things too.

A fully distributed "web" of personally managed data is where we'll get to one day. It might need a few cycles of centralisation and distribution, though.

It's also one of the reasons why we must not let the "privacy is dead" and "back door encryption" folk have their way.

To be fair, though, I don't think GitHub is a big part of that problem.

Those are good pub chats aren't they :-)

I was at PyCon UK, and watched 60 kids connecting up microbits to RPis and inventing ways to send signals over BTLE without a stack. I would like to solve the whole worlds problems, but if the past twenty years have taught us anything, it's that a few kids can invent the fire and we will all follow. So inthinknwe are going to be in good hands.
