I stumbled onto this interesting protocol. Already has a browser using it called the beaker browser

Basically a decentralized protocol for data with Git-like features built-in. I wonder if any of you have stumbled onto this. Any thoughts ?

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.
