I'm super excited about where Ceramic is going and what it means for the (decentralized) web. There are lots of ideological and technical reasons that developers get excited about p2p networks/protocols, but for the average user, apps/platforms simply need to work and deliver perceived value. In our Ceramic integration, we've been able to deliver immediate usability for p2p content linking and pinning that's at least on-par with what you'd experience with web 2.0/centralized DB-based publishing. It only gets better from there as p2p apps/platforms scale and users get more data composability. With Ceramic going a long way to meeting those initial UX table stakes, apps can start to lean into the higher-level value propositions of p2p technology. Bullish.
