Comment on I'm the creator of Seedit and I'm here to share how it works and clear up some Concerns/FUDS

I’m concerned about the large amount of low quality, vaporware/crypto applications built on IPFS which is the same core technology used here. It’s concerning how many clicks it takes to get technical specs for the underlying work, like libp2p for the network layer, which itself espouses only vague ideas on its main website that seems to focus a lot more on presentation than technical merit. Even the GitHub admits that the spec that most of these apps are relying upon is, well, unspecified.

Your project source downloads and runs an executable. That’s a little bit SUS. It would be much better of you compiled/built this core code as part of your build process, else, it’s not much in the way of source code, no?

I think the biggest tell that IPFS borders on vaporware is that there’s very little discussion about concrete specifications and the main problem faced by all DHTs: how you get your data to actually stay hosted on the network over time. These ideas are not new, and you may be better served building your app on technology that has spent vastly more time understanding the fundamental problems.
