Willow Protocol (willowprotocol.org)

A protocol for peer-to-peer data stores. The best parts? Fine-grained permissions, a keen approach to privacy, destructive edits, and a dainty bandwidth and memory footprint.

Are there any implementations of this out there or is this purely theoretical (at this point in time)?

It looks like there is at least one work-in-pprogress implementation. I found a Hacker News comment that points to github.com/n0-computer/iroh

Interesting. I thought Iroh was implementing the IPFS protocol.

Maybe IPFS can be described by one of Willow's parameterized forms.

I haven't found any projects using this protocol yet, so looks like it's in an early stage of adoption for now.
