Cryptosphere author here. Thanks for the mention! The brochure site probably provides a better overview than the github project page:

I should also give a shout out to Tahoe-LAFS, which the Cryptosphere is inspired by. They've also discussed supporting distributed webapps and adding a JavaScript API:

> I'm curious to see what will be the first real world implementation
Cryptosphere, Tahoe-LAFS, and similar systems have all sorts of potential use cases. I'd love to see distributed Facebooks, distributed Wikipedias, and even a distributed DNS registry.
One of the reasons I'm using Git as the "object manager" in Cryptosphere is to better facilitate things like forking, so if there's a distributed web site you like, and you don't like the way it's being managed, you could fork your own copy and try to get people to use that instead (licenses permitting, of course!)
