[ANN] Vole is a social web application using BitTorrent

Hi list,

We've created an open-source social network application that saves data as
..json files,  which can then be shared with others in a secure manner using
BitTorrent Sync.

BitTorrent is a great protocol for distributing data efficiently, and the
latest labs experiment from them called BitTorrent Sync allows you to share
a folder, much like Dropbox, by distributing a read-only key to others.

Vole is a small web server written in Go that presents a browser interface
and saves JSON back to the user's shared folder. It works really well,
however the major blockers are the lack of an API in BitTorrent Sync
(meaning manual steps are required) and the fact that BTSync is not open
source.

I thought this would be a good place to see if anyone had any feedback or
pointers for further work. Apologies if this post isn't appropriate.
