The disintermediated web
summary
Claims that browsers plus WebRTC and IndexedDB let peer-to-peer systems replace servers, cutting bandwidth bills and surviving offline; demos use hypercore/hyperlog, webrtc-swarm and libSodium (ed25519) with a tiny signal hub and signed append‑only logs so messages are verifiable. Shows a Twitter‑style publish/subscribe that gossips logs between peers, a barely working live webcast prototype (spellcast), and a USB sync map system used in Guyana that actually replicates remote OpenStreetMap data.
