Was playing around with the idea of p2p source hosting in package trees like nix and did a little weekend package prototype here of my own here:

Not really ready for prime time, but I think I have some interesting ideas there at least.

You should focus on the p2p part of code and object distribution. While nix is not perfect, people are not going to learn and adopt yet another package manager.

A distributed git object cache is what is really needed at the moment.

I'm actually working on my own OS agnostic package collection + system management software, and I've found https://radicle.xyz great for this. All repos depended on by the official package collection t will be on the radicle network.
