## What it is
Qri is a dataset version control system built on the distributed web (IPFS), letting users version, publish, discover, and collaborate on datasets peer-to-peer. It ships as a Go CLI and service for managing dataset history and sharing.

## Use cases
- version control for datasets like git but for data
- publish open datasets to a peer-to-peer network
- track changes and authors of CSV/JSON datasets over time
- discover and pull datasets published by others
- collaborate on data with peers over IPFS

## When to choose
- you need git-like versioning for datasets
- you want decentralized, P2P dataset sharing via IPFS
- you work with open data and want provenance and attribution

## When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose data pipeline or ETL tool
- you want centralized data hosting with access controls
- you need actively maintained software with recent releases

## Facets
