Local first software is great, but syncing is a huge part of it. Love this article. I’ve also always thought IPFS would make a nice sync engine for files and is default portable.

This is another sync article that supports my idea for IPFS. If we e2e encrypt everything anyways, no reason an open protocol like IPFS can’t be used

How does using end-to-end encryption for everything support the idea of leveraging IPFS as a sync solution, considering its openness as a protocol?

Encryption is problematic because if your key is leaked, the openness of the protocol means anyone can access the content and you can’t re-encrypt through key rotation. However, encryption provides a privacy layer to an otherwise totally open protocol.
