People are doing amazing things right now on the Web.

The line is an emphatic, present-tense endorsement of the web as a living arena of creativity and collective action. Rather than treating the internet as a future promise or a mere tool, it frames it as a place where ordinary users are already producing noteworthy outcomes—building communities, sharing knowledge, organizing projects, and inventing new forms of expression. Coming from Chris Hughes (associated with early Facebook and later civic-media efforts), the sentiment also implies a democratic view of innovation: “amazing things” are not limited to institutions or experts but can emerge from networked participation at scale.
