Author here. I'm unfamiliar with Opera unite, is it still actively being developed? After reading http://www.operasoftware.com/press/releases/general/opera-unite-reinvents-the-web my understanding is that it only works as long as you have your computer on, whereas with Netpowder the content is hosted on a remote server that is online 24/7. It thus seems to be optimized for a different use case - hosting private photos / music collection / etc from your computer, as opposed to putting up a prototype website for the world to see.
Opera unite and many opera specific features died ever since they switched to a chromium base for the browser. Opera aside this see,s like am interesting project
I'm in my mid-twenties so not sure if that counts as young anymore, but thanks for the kind words. Yes, I aim to stay away from the tech giants, would prefer something with more creative freedom and ownership.

This is really cool. I like light-weight solutions like this.

You seem relatively young and I see a very bright career ahead for you.
Just don't get sucked up into Facebook, Google, or Microsoft. They will likely waste your talents.
