I think most people prefer tools that are convenient to use. Centralized code hosting services are super convenient. They offer many useful social features that make it tasking and unappealing to use git as intended. Even with tools like Gi

Thank you so much for your kind words and advice. It means a lot to me. I will definitely remember these words as I build on and receive feedback :-)

I respectfully disagree. You do not need a decentralized, social protocol to build a smart contract or self-executing application platform. A smart contract is simply an agreement between parties, written in codes and enforced by a third-pa

Exactly. As much as we believe decentralization will remove the middleman, we need to understand that not every application can be built on decentralized systems. Our goal is to provide a platform where communities/teams can build simp

I'm so sorry about this. I will take a look and fix it.

I do not think there is need to encrypt the data as the JWT signature ensures the content cannot be altered successfully. You will need the private key to successfully alter the token. Also, the tokens shouldn't contain private informa

I am not exactly avoiding the blockchain. There isn't any production ready database that I am aware of that provides immutability like the blockchain and an advanced querying system like NoSQL database systems. I looked at BlockchainDB

IPFS looks quite interesting. I will study it more to see whether it would play an important part in solving my problem. It appears there isn't an exact open source solution out there.

Thanks for your suggestion. The fact that data written to BigQuery can still be modified is not so great for my case. I want to be able to make data immutable forever. Nobody should be able to modify or delete it. Malicious alterations sho

The distributed databases I have looked into have a user who grants roles/access to every other user. This means someone has to be trusted with full privileges. A solution where the access/role is baked into the software could be
