Ask HN: Are any of you actually building Dapps?

The Dapp concept has lots of theoretical promise, but looking at the Dapp List (https://thedapplist.com), it all feels very incestuous. Lots of web3 apps that are about managing problems that web3 creates.

Where are the new innovations that web3 tech is supposed to unlock?

To me, the ecosystem feels like non-engineer-techy-types who are looking to get in early in case "it" actually takes off. None of the high-skill engineers I know have much interest in web3 at all. I would presume that web3 _needs_ these engineers to _get_ interested if there's any hope for it in the long-term.

Hence this post -- am I in a filter bubble? Is there something here?
