What is it?
From one of the projects
Agregore, a browser for the distributed web, facilitates peer-to-peer data sharing without central servers, supporting protocols like BitTorrent and IPFS for direct loading and sharing of content.
So instead of putting stuff (like my webpage) on a server, I share it P2P? But then my computer has to run 24/7 which basically makes it a server, right?
IIRC from when I tried this before, I think anyone who views the page then hosts it too. I'm not sure if there's systems in place to stop the storage used ballooning, surely there are.
How do they manage changes to the site and refreshing the peers with the latest copy?
Again this is based off memories from several years ago but I think files were shared as hashes so a new version would be a new file.
Sounds a bit like Scuttlebutt
New to me.
