Ask HN: What decentralised web projects have the most potential?

16 pointsquestionasked6y ago3 comments

I'm very interested in this idea of decentralising the web, but there seems to be so many separate projects to do this - IPFS [1], Dat [2] and Solid [3] to name a few. Which of the existing projects (if any) to do you think has the potential to gain mainsteam usage?

[2]: https://dat.foundation/

All of these projects have potential, but we simply don't need them yet... so unfortunately it looks like none of these will gather mainstream usage...

Blockstack is a project with nice goal (everyone should have possibility to own their data) with thought out developer experience. I haven't built anything production ready with their stack but it was easy to get started with one toyproject I then abandoned because of lack of time.

I've been working on a blogging platform called Permaweb.io (not live yet), built on top of IPFS. We're using Textile.io as a way to wrap IPFS, we really like it. It allows us to update things in threads, and have roles and permissions.
