Show HN: Qodebeam - platform for data sharing between users and services

To ask the obvious: once a user shares their data, isn't the genie out of the bottle?

Seems like there is nothing to stop a service from perpetually storing all data that is shared with them once. In the long term, this would negate any benefit enjoyed by users since users who share their data no longer have "full control" over it (to use the verbiage found on the site's Users page).

You are totally right. Still, the platform could be considered a step in that direction. For example, a further improvement of the terms and conditions could at least force the services to agree not to store any data. If I manage to find at least a service willing to use the platform and some users, it's definitely something to look into.

Edit: I will improve the landing page in the near future, to better show the purpose of it and also to make it less vague.

Nice, last year i wanted to work in that direction. Cool to see someone actually started. If you ever need someone helping out, let me know. I habe many thoughts about a project like this and where this should go.
