I believe polycentric is built in as an optional comment system in Grayjay. Beyond that, I don't know what purpose it serves. (Don't know what Nostr is so that comparison didn't help me)
Thanks for that extra info - yes not much of that detail was on their site. Nostr has been around a bit longer I use it daily (amongst other networks) and it seemed the most similar network to Polycentric that I've seen (the philosophy). I did a video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mSyMCJlSwA about Nostr, but right now there is not that much to get me excited enough about Polycentric yet.
I gave their protocol page a look; it’s extremely in-depth. I have no idea what a vector clock is but now I get to learn. I like how they explain why blockchain isn’t a good fit.
I’m a touch worried about the extensability of the protocol, but I haven’t given it a deep read yet. I very much appreciate the share!
