This is so cool. Would love a p2p railsish full-stack framework please, this is a great first step.
Why p2p? In theory it allows one to push hosting and bandwidth costs to the clients and make software that is usable as long as people want to use it. In practice, building p2p apps is like 10x harder than a web app because it’s uncommon and there’s very little in the way of tooling and common app design patterns.
- joewrong 4y agoyou may find qbittorrent interesting https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent they've been a popular p2p app for a few years
- metadat 4y agoqbt is an awesome torrent downloading tool, but doesn't come close to offering what parent indicated they want. I read Peter's comment to mean he wants a web stack that mostly self-hosts via p2p. I love love love this idea as a concept, but in reality I'm afraid slow page load performance would make for a poor UX.
