I only have limited experience with web development, but this tech seems super useful for hosting on any decentralized platform. Could this be used in place of a CDN? Would love to hear what you guys would use something like this for.

EDIT: I missed the faq with a list of projects that use it. That list has some really cool, useful services i might start using!

Could this be used in place of a CDN?

The idea has been raised a few times that this could be a way to get longer videos on the Fediverse

Cinetimes uses it to stream what it claims are public domain films but, looking over the offerings they may be playing a bit fast and loose with that definition.

So there is a Hubzilla plugin. I don't know what I'd do with it but it is interesting to see.

PeerWeb sounds intriguing. You could have truly decentralised web sites.
