This blog post, which summarizes a talk on IPFS, provides a better introduction than the landing page or the Github readme: https://sourcegraph.com/blog/ipfs-the-permanent-web-by-juan-... It's annoying that there is no exhaustive comparison to existing systems, such as Bittorrent Sync, but I think that in this case it's genuinely difficult to find something that really resembles IPFS. The closest thing is probably Git, but IPFS maps the entire "global network" to your local file system. It could be useful for any form of infromation sharing, but the author provides a bunch of "trivial little JS apps" as examples. However, I'm not sure if web apps are the best application for this, since the database would need to be hosted in a traditional way anyways (unless you can exclude it from being version-controlled?) Like everyone else, though, I wish there was less hand-waving and more down-to-earth explanations on the subject (especially on the landing page!)
