Reclaiming the Web with peer-to-peer protocols

on YouTube ↗22m

" summary

A working peer-to-peer web is demonstrated: the Beaker Browser uses the Dat protocol and exposes a datArchive API where files.readdir lists ~65 files, readFile and writeFile mutate a site, and live view loading syncs edits with Sublime so publishing happens from the browser itself. A concrete app called Fritter shows profiles as standalone websites with JSON posts, the app consuming those sites over the p2p network, and the system actually functions end to end.
