What is the most successful holochainapp so far?
We are relatively new, we launched the alpha version in October 2017, and ever since then we’ve been mostly focused on crowdfunding and sharing our vision and story. So far we have only done some proof of concept apps. One is a peer-to-peer Twitter (called Clutter), that name is a joke, but allowed us to give people an example of how to build a truly distributed app on Holochain and to demonstrate how lightweight the architecture is. Even if there were millions of folks running Clutter, after about 6 months of use, it should only take up about as much storage space on your phone as one 12 megapixel photo. Another is Holo Chats, our peer-to-peer alternative to Slack with an alpha release in the coming weeks.
We’ve also had a bunch people in the community build things like a federated wiki where you don’t have to have a web server. We’ve also had people creating a fractal wiki, which is fascinating and very different. Instead of having just one page that presents the same information to all its users, you have topics discussed by different groups. Our take on this is that the ability to hold multiple perspectives is actually really enriching. If you cover one eye you see an image, if you cover the other you see a slightly different image, but if you have both you see depth.
Most of the systems we use today don’t enable us to make use of multiple perspectives and compare them easily. They end up forcing us into picking one, and in part that is because of how text works. But if you think of other forms of signalling, you could get a much more complex image.
If you cover one eye you see an image, if you cover the other you see a slightly different image, but if you have both you see depth.
