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.

Are there any implementations of this out there or is this purely theoretical (at this point in time)?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

I haven't found any projects using this protocol yet, so looks like it's in an early stage of adoption for now.

It looks like there is at least one work-in-pprogress implementation. I found a Hacker News comment that points to github.com/n0-computer/iroh

Interesting. I thought Iroh was implementing the IPFS protocol.

Maybe IPFS can be described by one of Willow's parameterized forms.
