I very much like to know this too.
It’s super difficult to create a truly distributed forum software. Just think about the complexity that distributed brings.
- You cannot have a classical user account registration as you don’t have a database.
- Because you lack that, you don’t have a permission system.
- And because the permissions are gone, so is the moderation.
- How about creating a topic, how is the logic supposed to work that users know that a new topic (or comment) is made?
- soooo much more issues
I think it’s impossible to write a dynamic site (a forum is dynamic) on a immutable (can’t change) platform. They two are kinda mutually exclusive.
You’d need some form of mutability to make some parts possible (user registration remains super difficult). IPNS isn’t an option here as that simply isn’t performant enough for a forum site. It is enough for a static site (think of blog posting software for example).
Anyhow, if you do find it (or make it ;)) please do give me a nudge! I’m quite interested in this too!
