There are a lot of applications that could potentially make good use of Tahoe-LAFS replacing the typical centralized storage of flat files or SQL databases. Currently supported projects include [TiddlyWiki](http://www.tiddlywiki.com/) (one of the Tahoe-LAFS developers hosts his blog using [TiddlyWiki stored in Tahoe-LAFS](http://allmydata.org/trac/tiddly_on_tahoe)), [Hadoop](http://hadoop.apache.org/), and [a number of others](RelatedProjects).

There are still many useful and interesting things that have yet to be built using Tahoe-LAFS. Perhaps the most promising is in the area of web applications; what applications can you think of that could make use of a highly reliable filesystem accessible from both desktops and [handheld devices](http://github.com/ctrlaltdel/TahoeLAFS-android)? Keep in mind that Tahoe-LAFS's architecture allows sharing and delegation opportunities that are difficult or impossible to implement using other backends. Some ideas people have suggested include a calender or photo album, or porting Mozilla's [Bespin](https://bespin.mozilla.com) editor).

See [this LWN.net comment](http://lwn.net/Articles/367922/) for an example of a programmer wishing that someone would port EtherPad to run on top of Tahoe-LAFS.
Nathan Wilcox wrote most of interactive tree browser frontend in JavaScript (see [the [RelatedProjects](RelatedProjects) page](RelatedProjects)); Toby Murray wrote [a front-end in Cajita](http://allmydata.org/pipermail/tahoe-dev/2010-March/004137.html); what interesting ways might this be extended?
