Building A.L.O. on the ZEXI ZK Construction

Howard Wu discusses the motivation behind building A.L.O., a project built around the ZEXI ZK construction. The goal of A.L.O. is to build web services that are truly personal, provide a tailored experience, and allow users to have control over their information. The current web model of exchanging personal data for free services is considered outdated and incompatible, and A.L.O. aims to address this shortcoming. The focus is on building a platform that is fully private, supports personal and private applications, and separates public and private web data.
