GobanFTP is a creative project that encodes a Go game into a filesystem directory structure, where moves are represented as filenames under an events/ directory and replay is deterministic from filename hashes. It is interesting because it makes a strategic board game queryable and replayable through FTP/WebDAV listings, treating filesystem metadata as a consensus-free protocol.

Target audience: backend devs, devops, data engineers
