I only have limited experience with web development, but this tech seems super useful for hosting on any decentralized platform. Could this be used in place of a CDN? Would love to hear what you guys would use something like this for.

EDIT: I missed the faq with a list of projects that use it. That list has some really cool, useful services i might start using!

It theoretically does but in practice, it doesn't really. More information here. For some reason peertube decided to roll their own webtorrent alternative instead of build upon webtorrent 🤷
