Decentralized structured data store it seems. If you want a P2P application you have to store data somewhere. No idea if this fits the bill.

Also because OrbitDB runs in browser JavaScript, it's great for building local-first distributed applications.

The use case is shared, mutable data structures that don't rely on central coordination or control.

Does that even make sense? Why wouldn't you want centralized coordination of your data structures? We could go back to people emailing emailing Excels to each other is that's what you want.

This question really needs to be answered in pragmatic and illustrative terms.
