Dat allows you to store any type of data. Yes, I think you could do what you're suggesting (though I don't follow 100%). You can use it like you would Dropbox, except only one person can write at the moment.

Under the hood, there are two implementations: hyperdrive and hypercore. Hyperdrive is a filesystem for storing any kinds of files. Hypercore can store any kind of data and is really great for streaming data (hyperdrive is built on top of it).

I was thinking of sharing a Git directory, directly from my computer instead of using any centralized provider such as GitHub/NotABug.

is there any web "bridge" available. I'm thinking in particular about streaming data over the P2P network, but also accessible on the web (for example for streaming a video).
