Is it really that hard to read like, the very next sentence on the page where he explains exactly what he means? "When you use a web app today, you usually connect to its developers' servers. This is backwards, and leaves them in control."

Also since when does "billions of people use it" mean something isn't broken? Lots of ubiquitous things are very, very dysfunctional.

Anyways this all seems very pie-in-the-sky but Kenton Varda is an incredible person. I'm very interested.
