why isn't there an OAuth system that is purely GPG keys based. For example I could sign some custom message from the server using only my keys, without ever having to deal with emails.

This way sign-up is as seamless as login. Is there anything like this I can use? Are websites not doing this because of spam and other issues?

isn't this more like "An open source Firestore alternative" right now. Do you plan to bring other features as well?

I'm a big fan of firebase and use it whenever I can. The reason it's appealing it because it's the suite of tools and how well they work together for bootstrapping (auth, firestore, storage, analytics etc). No single feature by itself is useful to me.

I would definitely switch if this atleast had (auth + db + file storage + functions).

I would probably get downvoted for this..

It's very rare to find those "scratch your own itch problems", the solution to that itch is most likely a google search away.

Pick a good product that you use and clone it. Keep an open mind because you can never copy the entire business since there is only so much you can see. Atleast you get some direction to start and you know that you are not trapped in building something people don't want.

Since you mentioned making your skillset strong(technical?), either way you win by just starting something.

Scarcity falls into three distinctive categories: demand-induced, supply-induced, and structural.

For money, scarcity is demand induced. For cryptocurrency/money the number 21m or 100m does not matter as long as it's divisible.

For something like paintings, scarcity is supply induced.
