Review on Urbit by Darnell Evans

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Super fast, private web hosting alternative

I am very impressed by how well thought out this product was before launch! The UI/UX really helps newcomers get to grips with what urbit offers in terms of privacy as much or more than anything else (and that's saying something!). And there are lots o' options for people who want additional features added over time once things have been fully tested / reviewed internally first - which they did!! Great choice here given just how many ways u can 'be'. Privacy concerns not solved 100% yet either if that has come up somewhere please reply so everyone knows! Also still working through some initial technical issues atm like lag when browsing sites hosted within the browser extension etc., would be great to improve performance further though I'm sure thats coming soon too :) Overall its super secure & powerful way to go about running certain types of websites without having everything run off centralized servers where anyone could access them from any device anywhere all day long and steal info via malware injected ads served alongside content. I like that urbit has built in messaging system for communication with other users of the service. The UI could be improved to make things easier when sending files or images. Also would love if there was more functionality added as they continue to develop this project. If you are looking into something different then what's out there right now then give urbit a try! It really does solve all my needs as far as privacy goes.
