I’ll check out your project - everything you say here resonates with me, especially the rootless nature.

What we probably need, long term, is a content addressable store, local first, secure, and freely shareable. Layering this on top of POSIX filesystems feels awkward and difficult to trust. But this is the fundamental building block of Nix-like systems and would make the move from rootless to system-wide a mostly trivial exercise.
