I'd be very curious what project you have for which IPFS is a good solution.

I'm not sold on IPFS but the idea of using a file system as a top level global index is attractive to me. I find the 2 best references for human information is global location and time. I think an operating system structured around those constants could be a winner.

I'm not sold on IPFS and will look at Willow and IROH.

A global hash-based index is literally an undergraduate project to do well. You could even ride atop bittorrent if you really had to.
