    is that someone is going to create a defederated stackoverflow alternative?

    God I would love that. But as simple as the UI is, it would be some real work.

      What do you think the hardest challenge would be?

      I’m a software developer but I don’t know too much about working with de-federated services, but I would be interested in working on a Stack for us, if it was feasible and maybe we got a few more devs on board.

        I’m working on a P2P Reddit alternative, but Reddit is basically a more complicated StackExchange. Here’s the mapping:

        • stack exchange site -> community/subreddit
        • question -> post
        • answer -> top level comment

        The missing bits:

        • selected answer - easy metadata to add
        • comment on question
        • bounty - is it needed?
        • tags - again, easy metadata to add

        Maybe I’ll consider forking my project once it’s ready and turn it into a QA site. The hardest part will be useful search due to its distributed nature.

        What do you think the hardest challenge would be?

        I honestly wouldn’t know where to begin. Hardest to start would be learning enough of the problem space to identify p problems, but that’s just what’s in front of me
