Natakanu - An Indigenous-led, open source, peer to peer software project.
summary
Natakanu builds an Indigenous-led, open source, local-first peer-to-peer file-sharing app that runs offline on a cheap router and two laptops, uses Hypercore + Electron and GitHub, and requires only three clicks to create an account, folder and share. It provides end-to-end encryption and peer-only control of files, was tested in off-grid workshops (no network, limited solar) and was used to transfer and preserve assets like the photogrammetry of a birch‑bark canoe for 3D/AR/VR reuse.
