GitTorrent: http://blog.printf.net/articles/2015/05/29/announcing-gittorrent-a-decentralized-github/ http://blog.printf.net/articles/2015/05/29/announcing-gittor... Imagine a world where GitTorrent is fully developed, includes support for issue tracking, and has a nice GUI client that makes the experience on-par with browsing github.com. I mention this not as an "Everybody bail out of GitHub and run to GitTorrent!!!" sort of statement, because I believe GitHub's response here was excellent and confidence inspiring. But it's an unnatural relationship for community supported, open source projects to host themselves on commercial platforms such as GitHub. GitHub primarily hosts them to promote its business. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but it results impedance mismatches like demonstrated here. That isn't to say that a mature GitTorrent would replace GitHub. Rather, I envision GitHub becoming a supernode in the network, an identity provider, and a paid seed offering, all alongside their existing private repo business. Honestly, once I scrape a few projects off my plate, I'm inclined to dive into GitTorrent, see where it's at in development, and see if I can start contributing code. It just seems like such a cool and useful idea.
