This is an awesome idea! I had been thinking last week about how to build a distributed package manager, and a platform for running scripts attached to the package was an idea for later. So neat to see a distributed app platform, but odd how similar ideas seem to pop up at the same time.

I often feel there are no original ideas. What influenced me to make firestr was various things. The work of Alan Kay is a a big influence on me. I need real version control in Firestr and have been thinking to integrate git behind the scenes, or something similar. You are welcome to help!
