- t0mas88 5y agoI don't even get enough grasp of what it does to decide whether I want to spend more time to figure out if it's useful to me. It can't be that hard to explain the thing your project solves/makes possible for me in 5 to 10 lines right?
- joshspankit 5y agoDitto. Nor do I know how it addresses any of the top-5 issues when it comes to data (consistency, speed of access, scaling, etc)
- mdaniel 5y agoI don't believe it addresses many of those things, but it might address scaling given that its very concept is federation But, AIUI, *the problem* it is solving is that [conceptually] instead of the user leasing S3 space from AWS, and putting their photos on Someone Else's Computer, but then being wholly responsible for the ACLs required to grant or revoke access to said photos, in this model the user can instead give out a lease of access to the photos to dedicated groups, and the storage comes from The Whole Internet (ala Filecoin) Again, AIUI, this is much closer to a virtual-host model: I can create joshspankit.photos.example.com/timeline/2022/02/30/Trip to Antarctica/ which only you can access, and only the photos I put in that container, and I can revoke that at will by deleting joshspankit.photos.example.com at which point your lease evaporates Plus, blockchain something something
- mushufasa 5y agoExactly. Tell me what problems it solves, not what features it has.
- guywhocodes 5y agoI couldn't understand what it does and I'm working on something not too dissimilar (I think)
- dchuk 5y agoThis is the problem with nearly every crypto project. Extreme focus on how it works and the tech behind it rather than use cases and who they benefit
