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!

It is used for PeerTube, it seems from quick web research.
It theoretically does but in practice, it doesn’t really. More information here. For some reason peertube decided to roll their own webtorrent alternative instead of build upon webtorrent 🤷

I just saw that! That’s really cool. I gotta start exploring that too
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.
