How does blockstack compare to alternatives like Dat (https://datproject.org/ https://datproject.org/) and IPFS (https://ipfs.io/ https://ipfs.io/)?

  Dat and IPFS are decentralized file systems. Instead, blockstack is a network for decentralized application. It offers identity, storage and a way to transfer tokens. With blockstack you can easily create apps where users can sign-in in seconds and store all their data where they want.

    Dat and IPFS can be used to build applications too -- checkout out e.g. https://peerpad.net https://peerpad.net and the things on https://hashbase.io https://hashbase.io
