Ask HN: What's new being done with P2P?
I am under the impression that crypto took the spotlight to almost anything P2P related in the past decade. Besides crypto, is there new being done with?
- Zambyte 2y agoRadicle is pretty interesting: https://radicle.xyz/ https://radicle.xyz/ It's a P2P source forge similar to GitHub or Gitlab.
- siamese_puff 2y agoWebRTC is still a hot area. P2P is awesome and definitely not dead, been around forever and will be around forever.
- wmf 2y agoIMO P2P is mostly incompatible with laptops/phones but Veilid is trying to bring it back.
- mab122 2y agoIMO That is because we got used to always on, always watching, always working apps / services that run "somewhere" not on our devices. Even in selfhosted open source alternatives most of the applications expect to be run continously. Example: Google Photos, vs LibrePhotos vs Google Picasa - the last one only worked when you wanted it to work not 24/7
- Sean-Der 2y agoP2P broadcast is interesting. Send your video to two users, then they send it to two more. Makes things affordable. P2P VPN I also like. Users connect directly instead of routing all traffic through relay.
- Charon77 2y agoIPFS is still going strong with the file sharing.
- nik736 2y agoDoes anyone have experience with P2P Livestreaming via WebRTC? Is it reliable?
