How IPFS Is Broken

The problem with IPFS is that they index individual files.<p>BitTorrent DHT works, at least for the legal open source content in familiar with, because they index on entire collections.<p>But for some reason everyone builds on IPFS rather than working on the mutable torrents feature, and DAT seems to be mostly ignored(I&#x27;m not quite sure what the difference is with the hypercore stuff that replaced it).<p>I think what we need is something like cr-sqlite with digitally signed updates and a discovery DHT.<p>Maybe Radicle will solve the issue? I&#x27;m not sure how that one works but it seemed promising last I checked.

Freenet solved most of that except slow access. And everyone hated it, supposedly because it&#x27;s in Java.<p>Now it&#x27;s rebranded, flashy sites and whatnot, trying to do everything and noone knows anymore the exact use case.
