Hello Liu Kang,

Unfortunately I do not understand what you mean.
The idea was not really about distributed storage, wasn't it?

Users do not interact with thin clients as with traditional desktops, they
interact logically with a remote server, so they can't even notice if it
is Coda or something else that runs on their client.

I think there is some misunderstanding, either yours or mine.

Best regards,
