Summary: Willow is a protocol for peer-to-peer data stores, offering fine-grained permissions, privacy, destructive edits, and minimal bandwidth and memory usage. It provides always-available storage for various data types and enables deterministic syncing across devices. Willow ensures end-to-end encryption, total data erasure, and customizable access restrictions. Users can partially sync data, overwrite old values, and delete unwanted data. The protocol supports communication between devices with limited memory and allows authors to write from multiple devices concurrently.
