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!

Perfect moment to plug !Peertube@lemmy.world

Growing steadily, and in my opinion, definitely a way to supplement (still far from replace) YT. There's actually some neat content on there by now, from just good to fascinatingly bizarre - but almost always very genuine and authentic. Especially when comparing to some years back, it really has become a proper seed for a platform instead of a novel experiment - but more people interacting with the content and/or supporting the creators would be amazing as the next step.
