Excuse me if i’m a bit evangelical, but IPFS (or maybe scuttlebutt for multi-way communication) would be much better suited to that.

I really fail to see the point in server-based stuff nowadays unless you’re in a specific controlled environment where distribution would just be inefficient. P2P is simply the way to go for something that you want to work with whatever infrastructure can be cobbled together from tin cans and hairpins.

Please please point me to how I can join the p2p community. I too strongly believe it’s the way forward but don’t know what protocols/things people are using
