    Freenet is a distributed file system. Imagine a useful front end to that where you could upload your content and also subscribe to other people or content. Could be awesome. Too bad I can’t code for shit.

      Yeah, there are lots of distributed filesystems and platforms… the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS), Freenet, GNUnet, Osiris, ZeroNet, Dat, I2P, Tahoe-LAFS…

      Maybe the Web 3.0 gets us there.

        As far as I know i2p doesn’t have a distributed file system. I think you can run Tahoe-LAFS over it, but it looks complex. Never tried it.

        But if netflix is just a nice gui over S3, then a nice gui over freenet should be simple. Right? Not that I could do it, but I like the idea.
