Symbiont is a chrome extension which allows you to comment on any website in the world
Have you ever gone to a website and thought "this is annoying - I wish I could comment on this site".
Well the idea with Symbiont is that you can do exactly that.
Frontend:
JavaScript
OrbitDB / IPFS
Chrome Extension
Backend
nodeJS
IPFS nodes
IPFS is a decentralised storage system. OrbitDB is a decentralised database built on top of IPFS.
This has several use cases:
provide censorship free way of commenting on content. There are designs for optional self censorship in this project. This is a free service.
provide a way for entities to annotate the web with extra meta data - this potentially can be charged for.
inject adverts into any webpage and use the advert revenue to finance the pinning of meta data on IPFS (decentralised storage) . This can generate profit if the service becomes used a lot.
