A protocol for peer-to-peer data stores. The best parts? Fine-grained permissions, a keen approach to privacy, destructive edits, and a dainty bandwidth and memory footprint.

    Could this replace SyncThing? I use and like SyncThing but I also really want peer-to-peer copies and ST gets a bit messy when you try it (seems like a hub and spoke approach works better).

      So while I’m myself struggling to fully understand what this is, it conceptually like it’s a blockchain on syncthing, where even if you subscribe to a read only share, you can locally delete what you don’t want to keep. So technically you could make bitorrent to behave like syncthing with search function for contacts you already know.
