This is a fantastic work! The best part of Federalist is reading and displaying the websites from BitTorrent using BEP-46. The Handshake part is less impressive for me personally, since it basically reads Handshake values from a service (query.hdns.io/dns-query). If Federalist adds a Handshake daemon, it will be much more decentralized, but at the same time much heavier on resources. For historical perspective, decentralized websites (or p2p websites) are here since like 20 years. Here's a super concise list of what I recall off the top of my head. - Freenet is the first project I'm aware of doing that - ENS+IPFS websites is a strong movement now (see esteroids.eth.limo, I'm a co-creator of this) - ZeroNet was going strong like 5 years ago, and even though it's less popular now it's still functional and a nice project. - Agregor browser brings decentralized website the Hypercore (a successor of DAT protocol) - BitTorrent was supposed to have a project especially for decentralized websites (Maelstrom web browser), but it didn't took off eventually - Magnetico is a search engine built on top of BitTorrent, very similar to Federalists, but without the Handshake part. - Skynet is a project meant almost only for decentralized websites, based on Sia. They have integration with ENS, and afaik, also with Handshake (check it out!) - Swarm, Namecoin etc. could also be used for decentralized websites. I saw some people doing demos with it, but can't recall any links/names atm.
