Use Cases

Use cases are a way of exploring the features and challenges of Edsu in the context of common online apps.

Distributed Identity	→	The simplest use case for Edsu is to verify that a visitor is who they say they are.
App State Storage	→	The second simplest thing to do with Edsu is use it as a place to stash data online, so that it can be accessed from all of the user's devices.
Messaging	→	This use case goes into the inter-user communication features that Edsu provides.
File Synchronization	→	Keeping large amounts of structured data synchronized across multiple devices is a challenge that demonstrates some of Edsu's strongest points.
Social Media	→	Social media is the 800-pound gorilla of online apps. Edsu can be used as a platform for building social media, but the nature of distributed apps presents some interesting challenges.
Source Code Hosting	→	Edsu was built for the open source community, and no app is more central at the moment than GitHub.
