Something I said before (and felt even longer) is —

An open protocol is better than an app.

But an open file data-format is better than an open protocol.

I.e.,:

file data format ≫ protocol ≫ app

With that in mind —

I spend time thinking about how this (the importance of files and file data-formats) intersects with user-experience (UX).

For example, what types of files could you get regular people to create?

I don't think you can get regular people en masse to write JSON (including JSON-LD).

I think even getting them (regular people) to write HTML is difficult.

Something similar to Markdown probably has the best chance or success. Maybe something similar to INI, too.
