Ask HN: What decentralized apps can I use?

Hey HN,

I'm in my early 20's and have been loving learning about the crypto/blockchain/web3 space. However, I've been lost in terms of what sort of value I can actually get out of using a decentralized application. A lot of applications I have seen are centered around Art Marketplaces (NFT), gaming, gambling, DeFi (lending/borrowing), token exchanges, and DAOs. As a young person with not a lot of capital on hand, I would love to start using decentralized applications to scout them out and start understanding their use cases/what all the hype is about. Can someone shed some light on places I should look? What am I missing? The goal here isn't to make money via some scheme to buy digital assets and resell them, but to use a product that adds to my daily life/workflow.

Git is a great decentralized app to get started with. It doesn't require all the cryptoplexity to get started either.

ENS is a good one to start with
