Another webpage compares Willow to other protocols like IPFS: https://willowprotocol.org/more/compare/index.html#willow_compared https://willowprotocol.org/more/compare/index.html#willow_co... According to them, data on IPFS is immutable, stateless, and globally-namespaced, whereas data on Willow is mutable, stateful, and conditionally-namespaced. I interpret Willow as an authenticated, permissioned, content-based, globally-addressed, distributed database system, where an address has the hierarchy and expressiveness of a URL. One particularly nice feature about the documentation: if you hover over an underlined word (https://willowprotocol.org/specs/data-model/index.html#data_model https://willowprotocol.org/specs/data-model/index.html#data_...), a pop-up box provides a definition or explanation. Importantly, some terms in the pop-up are underlined themselves, so you can dig down into the terminology with great ease. More projects should implement this functionality.
