Take a look at Scuttlebutt [0] which works on very similar principles of authenticated log replication. Also note that Lotus Notes [1] has been doing all this replicated encrypted app platform stuff since the early 90s. I am working on a log-centric bitemporal database at JUXT which I think intersects with this problem space as well, see my recent tweet relating to the article [2].

Yes Scuttlebutt is a big inspiration among others. I believe the primary change/improvement I'm making is that it runs on the device and is also focused on the user's data instead running on a server or doing distributed social networking. Reading [1] makes it seem to me like I might just be reinventing Lotus Notes.

  > it runs on the device and is also focused on the user's data Only a few of us run servers, most people just run Scuttlebutt on their device so that they can their data as well as their friends' data: - Windows, macOS, and Linux: https://github.com/ssbc/patchwork https://github.com/ssbc/patchwork - Android: https://gitlab.com/staltz/manyverse/ https://gitlab.com/staltz/manyverse/ - iOS: WIP
