CARDSTACK: let the new ERA in the DIGITAL WORLD begins…
Cardstack overview
Cardstack is an upcoming application framework aiming to create a decentralized software ecosystem, where the users will be able to manage all of their software and will be able to visualize all information that are getting in and out, it open-sources the whole digital system so that the whole system is not under any particulars control.
Cardstack is aiming in organizing cohesive user experiences across blockchain and the cloud is essential to bringing decentralization to the mass market.
What cardstack is trying to do?
a. They want to create modular SDK (Software Development Kit) for developers to build a new experience layer for blockchain enabled internet.
b. To bridge the gap between the power of blockchains and the convenience of the cloud.
To Encourage developers to develop more and do it in an effective manner.
c. To get a bigger mass market adoption by not siloed down into one particular type of cryptocurrency.
d. To build an ecosystem that is going to challenge todays digital superpowers.
Problems
In today’s scenario there are so many apps trying to seek attention in an App Store. They have notification and interfaces and animations and great tools
Apps Store — the user has to install many standalone apps with overlapping features that don’t operate together to form his/her workflow. Also, users don’t like to pay for these apps, so you receive a lot of ads while using them.Cloud Based Software — User needs to choose between different subscription plans and pick the most cost-efficient option to get the most of all features. And they all require different log in, password, credit card and other disadvantages as wellDApps-users have to manage the supply of utility tokens for each of the DApps.
Value Proposition
The main value proposition of cardstack ico is breaking down the user experience of various software and cloud and blockchain silos which use to exits in various levels of digital world, allowing developers and users to engage in custom workflows.
As a user, we manage various standalone apps that do not interact with each other. Whereas in large corporation are able to put users of their services into silos, and extract various data, and extract value for indivuduals gain, with the emergence of decentralized technologies and blockchain the current technical landscape is getting disrupted but on the same way its aiming to achieve a complete mass market adoption.
Cardstack wants to review the existing internet around its users with an advance adaptable framework that breaks down existing silos and replaces them with an open, digital world.
Solution
Cardstack is building a new experience layer that will help users manage standalone apps they use and guide them in the age of mass market adoption of decentralized technologies in an open digital ecosystem. Card stack wants to solve the issue by centering the internet around the user, turning services into tangible cards, bridging blockchain and cloud services, enabling progressive decentralization.

Verdict
The cardstack project mainly focuses into the relationship between internet and the digital footprint by creating an advance user experience that gives users more potential over their service.
According to my opinion the cardstack framework is not only innovative but exciting. Accessing the full potential of the decentralized internet and adopting the mass market, it could really challenge the existing digital powers of todays generation.
There exist some pros and cons to this project which should be really be taken under consideration
PROS:
At GitHub it shows a lot of activity and expert knowledge which acts as an advantage. 1674commits which is a good sign that people are engage to this project and is progressing
Cons:
People are not aware of Cardstack much. The marketing team should work upon this and must spread more awareness to individual levels even if we see the Facebook they have around 1.5K Followers and 3723 followers in Twitter which is very low.
The roadmap to this project is not very clear for new users which in turn may create a problem for individual to work upon it.
