    So you want to decentralize your website - macwright.org
    ▻https://macwright.org/2017/07/20/decentralize-your-website.html

    But now in 2017, a re-decentralized web - ‘dex’ for short - is back in vogue and there are some promising projects. There are lots of projects in the space now, with slightly different goals and cultures, like #scuttlebutt, #IPFS, and #Dat. And, critically, #Beaker_Browser just launched, a user-friendly browser that transparently supports Dat websites: you can go to dat:// URLs just like you can https:// URLs. I’ve been trying it out, and it’s great.

      IPFS is pretty clearly intended to be a replacement for the internet

      Distributed, decentralized systems don’t just fail because of the tech-oligopoly conspiracy: they fail because decentralization is incredibly, incredibly hard. And, while you’re struggling to conquer PhD-worthy Computer Science problems, you’ve got to grapple with unfamiliarity, the single hardest problem in usability.

      The Dat strategy reflects this challenge. It isn’t a personal project or a startup with a 4-year window of success, it’s a foundation-supported project with core parts owned by multiple contributors. This is a long haul, and if you’re creating network protocols people will rely on for critical data, you need to get it right.

      I think that the combination of Dat and Beaker Browser (or IPFS and Beaker Browser) is what matters most. Beaker makes it possible to potentially use these technologies without knowing that you’re using them: that’s powerful. And there’s real value of having a stakeholder in the dex community that’s so user-focused.
