Graphite never touches nor has access to any of the data you store. Choosing your own storage provider so you don't have to rely on Blockstack storing your data is quickly becoming much easier than it used to be. In fact, Graphite (the core product) and soon to be followed by Graphite Publishing will likely be one of, if not the, first apps to offer a simple option to plug in the storage provider of your choice.

So Graphite is just kind of like a headless CMS/front-end for drafting your blog content that is hosted/served by Blockstack (or the other storage options that you and others have detailed) ? If that description is close to what this then that sounds pretty darn cool to me..

Blockstack is an architecture which supports gaia storage, wherein the blockstack api supports routing the Blockstack identity via the BNS naming system to the users gaia hub, where they own and store their own data.

Gaia is not necessarily dependent on Blockstack, but it was designed to be modularized within this design, so users can control where their data is stored, which is not necessarily the case with IPFS.

It is pretty darn cool :)

Let us know if you have any more questions.

This is why we chose Blockstack for the core product (Graphite) and for this project!
