IPFS looks good, but it&#x27;s quite antithetical to Xanadu. It&#x27;s more akin to a Plan 9 or Gopher idea of networked file systems, but backed by content addressable storage and a name service. Xanadu is the very anathema of that.<p>OpenPublish just looks like a simple insertion tool for a distributed public ledger (i.e. the blockchain). There&#x27;s not an actual &quot;system&quot; to it.<p>Worse-is-better is (ironically) hard to get right, because, as it turns out, designing systems so that they can be properly evolved from 50% of the right thing to 90% of the right thing is almost as difficult as building it correctly in the first place.<p>(I don&#x27;t think IPFS is even about hypertext or hypermedia per se, so much as content distribution which then would be interpreted by whatever local reader is relevant. I do not think it has any intrinsic understanding of hypertext.)
