Wow. I opened this thinking "What amazing place I'll never be able to go to was this taken at?", and apparently it's 2 hours away and I've been on the lake 5+ times.
Remember folks, you're always a short distance from unknown dope shit.

This is really really awesome, but my first thought was Pied Piper (from the Silicon Valley tv show on HBO), and how this will have the user:service paradox.
For the service to be useful/good, it needs a lot of users, you can't get a lot of users without the service being useful/good, so it either slowly creeps up user counts over a very long period of time, or stagnants/dies off.
That aside, this kind of technology is what I want the future internet to be. Ran by people, on a distributed global network, not corporations, eating your data and nickel and diming you.
So -- essentially the plot of Silicon Valley (which is a good thing lol).
You got a star from me.

Putting it on the bucket list! Last I was out on the water there, we took a ferry (I fail to remember where we boarded from, but I'm guessing there's only so many options, haha), to Madeline island, and that was extremely cool. Did a handful of tours, too.
There are actual full time light house keepers out on Superior.
Small. Ocean.
