@mix as far as I know, noffle is doing lots of stuff. see e.g. https://github.com/noffle/gitverse and it's hyperdb-based. I think this theoretical discussion is actually also practical. It's just a different type of practical: on the philosophical level. Which is also important because we shouldn't waste time building the wrong things in the right way in the illusion that building software is worth more than theoretical explorations. Another way to view this is that we're doing UX design here, which is important to happen before development starts.
