summary
Claims that wikis make a general-purpose, append-only data model for apps, and that practical tooling already proves it. Demonstrations use wikidb (leveldb-backed), browser replication via websockets, a tiny relay tool wsnc, and a dupesh-style pipe for symmetric sync; examples include studio.substack.net and a prototype shipboard that builds a Gantt from wiki ops. Content-addressable blob stores, torrent-blob-store + webtorrent and a gossip-based peer introduction system all get working demos, showing replication, conflict heads, and read/write in node and browser.
