Personally, I think we should retire the idea of The Decentralized Web. It doesn't help clear thinking. BitTorrent is one of the most successful decentralization stories out there right now, but it's 0% part of "The Decentralized Web".
- narrowrail 11y agoI think most people on HN think of the web as ports 80/443, and bittorrent doesn't operate on those ports. The internet is the superset, the web is the subset.
- seagreen 11y agoI totally agree -- and not just on HN -- everywhere. Now let's update that title: " The Principles of a Decentralized Port 80/443 Ecosystem " Personally, I don't think it survives the update well:(
- nicolagreco 11y agoI look forward to see what will happen with bittorrent.
