We wound up implementing something very similar, about the same time (I wish I had known about SOLID earlier), except using CRDTs and graphs (which can support Linked Data). Our implementation is live and functioning already, including:
- Realtime updates across a decentralized network.
- End-to-end encryption with P2P identities.
- Backs up to localStorage/disk (if you Electron-ify/etc. it) - Can also be backed up by remote storage services.
It is as if IPFS and Firebase had a love child, and we've tried really hard to reduce the API to just a couple lines of code to get fully working P2P social netowrking dApps in place.
