You can take a look at Eris by ProjectDouglas, a framework for building your own Distributed Autonomous Organizations. They are also working on solutions for mirroring blockchain-based smart contracts with their counterparts in the offline legal system. https://github.com/project-douglas/eris

Hi there, you ask interesting questions. I have two things for you that aren't exactly what you're looking for, but they are definitely relevant. First of all, a while ago I made a serverless chat for in your browser. It's just a proof of concept, it does work however. There will be nobody there, but you can test it by opening two browser tabs or using a second device. It works in the same way that Skype works, peer to peer. It's cool, because it is in the browser. http://codepen.io/Azeirah/pen/BHnbz Second of all, you know bitcoins, right? It has this blockchain thing. People are starting to realize the potential of the blockchain. I've seen multiple initiatives and examples of applications using the blockhain to store the data without a static database. Note however, the data is still stored somewhere, on the users' pc's! This is not a

database-less application, it is decentralized. It's still very cool however, and may have a huge influence on the internet in the future if it stabilizes. https://eris.projectdouglas.org/ (and their github: https://github.com/project-douglas/eris)

In Ask HN: Is it possible to have forum type community running without a database?

Yes I am one of the "developers" though I do not consider myself worthy of that title. More like guy who codes. :P And yes I made that post. Just to clear that up. And we are really excited to have you all look at the code. Sorry for the delay. Edit: Its now open. https://github.com/project-douglas/eris was going to be in two hours but we saw no reason not to do it early.

Yes, as I mentioned above, I see their Github account repos. However, all the repos there are either Github pages, white papers, or forks of Ethereum projects. They've evidently deleted or made private the https://github.com/project-douglas/eris repo whose license is referred to the in white paper. Presumably, that's the repo they refer to when they describe this accomplishment in the white paper: "...Eris, a platform which allows developers and users to deploy consensus driven applications which rely on decentralized architecture and a consensus driven blockchain database backend."
