It's already here. I'm not sure why Danielle Robinson merited a photo and a quote but there was no mention of Beaker Browser. Beaker uses Dat as its storage layer, which is similar to IPFS or Bittorrent, and then layers on data storage and sharing systems to enable services like Fritter, their Twitter clone. It's very easy to use -- just download Beaker, and you can be publishing web pages or using totally decentralized web applications.
- mattlondon 8y ago+1 - where IPFS and Gun present a very tech-focused entry point to the distributed web (I still do not even know how Gun works - it just says it works and that I dont need to worry etc, without much info that I could find for actually how it works e.g. how is my data shared? who runs the other nodes), Beaker presents a very friendly "on ramp" to it all that is easily understandable in a browser context. I've found it very interesting to play around with. Highly recommended.
