A distributed search engine for science, with all parts contained within a browser extension: https://github.com/ScholarNinja/extension https://github.com/ScholarNinja/extension A blog post about it recently hit the front page of HN: http://juretriglav.si/an-open-distributed-search-engine-for-science/ http://juretriglav.si/an-open-distributed-search-engine-for-... 130 people have installed the extension and my server has churned through 100+ GB of data in the past three days, so I'm having scaling/performance issues right off the bat, which is great. Just today we made significant performance improvements (10x) to the underlying webrtc-chord DHT implementation: https://github.com/tsujio/webrtc-chord/issues/6 https://github.com/tsujio/webrtc-chord/issues/6 It's a whole lot of fun developing this :) If anyone cares about this stuff, I'm always happy to discuss!
