RetroShare
RetroShare is a Free and Open Source cross-platform, Friend-2-Friend and secure decentralised communication platform.
Protocols like Zeronet provide an application framework to build dynamic websites which are loaded/shared over the BitTorrent protocol. My experience with Zeronet is that it doesn't work well on Mobile, it takes a long time to "sync" pages, and suffers from excessive spam or needed moderation. At scale, a Zeronet application is just a logically centralized as a blockchain application.
Clarion learns lessons from other projects, including RetroShare, Hive (previously SteemIt ), and Voice. RetroShare is far closer to the desired level of decentralization, but has a clunky interface that isn't viable on mobile. Meanwhile, blockchain based networks are "logically centralized" and require all full nodes to process all transactions. This is not suitable for home users at scale and creates dependencies on a small number of web portals.
