I find it odd you say distributed storage is the missing link preventing developer adoption of the decentralized protocol stack after naming a handful projects! I feel like 90% of all web3 protocols are just for storage.

One aspect of this post you missed is decentralized web app hosting / compute. Sure, having the contract on chain and IPFS data storage is great but if the front end is still hosted on AWS then still not ideal. Projects like Aleph and Flux ought to be mentioned as they provide full decentralized developer offerings (by the way Aleph also has a great storage option with easy to use SDK).

Otherwise great post! I really enjoyed reading about the identity section. I had not heard of Ceramic. Looking forward to taking a closer look at your example app.
