Scuttlebot is an open source peer-to-peer log store used as a database, identity provider, and messaging system.
It features global replication, file-syncronization, and end-to-end encryption.
Scuttlebot behaves like the headless backend to a social network.
Localhosted frontend applications read and write freely to the local instance, and, in the background, the database syncs with known peers.
Users are identified by public keys, and follow each other to form a web-of-trust.
Peers do not have to be trusted, and can share logs and files on behalf of other peers.
Read about the protocol.
