> Egont sounds a bit like SQL, no? A social way to share data and work with it ... a shared RDBMS where everyone has a user account and can create tables/share them with other users, built in security, etc. Splat a GUI on top and you have something similar.

Yes, SQL or a global spreadsheet. I would say that it is like SQL plus a DAG or, we can imagine an aggregation of SQLs. The interesting thing is that parts of the global system are only recalculated if there is a change, like in a spreadsheet.

We need a little bit more but not much more: security by namespaces and/or rows so the same database is shared but you can restrict who change what: your "rows" are yours. I think something like OrbitDB but with namespaces will be cool.

Yes but my proposal was at a higher level. I don't want to know what a cookie is when I just want to create a website. I am not saying that you can create complex components with this idea but you can create common use cases.
