Have you heard of Veilid? It’s sort of envisioned as a framework for building encrypted distributed/federated apps. It’s early days and in active development, but the idea and goals of it remind me of the issues you raised.

There’s also Willow Protocol, which is sometimes compared to SSB and Veilid, but I don’t know as much about it.

Veilid, yes, willow, no. Thanks for pointing that out, I'll read up on it

I'm starting with something that's familiar but not structurally aligned with what I want to do (git+ssh). I intend to make the "backend" pluggable so I can use the same app to evaluate different distributed frameworks (Veilid, IPFS/Ceramic, IPFS/OrbitDB, Holepunch, IPv8, ...)

Otherwise I'll just spend my life tinkering with distributed frameworks and never end up with a distributed app.
