Beauty is a local, cross-platform Markdown editor for Mac, iOS, and web that renders content in place, including KaTeX math and Mermaid diagrams, with features like peer-to-peer sync and version history.
Radicle discloses two critical security vulnerabilities in its network protocol, affecting all versions, where traffic is unencrypted and unauthenticated, allowing information leakage and impersonation. Users should stop using private repositories until a fix is released.
Joel Spolsky warns against over-abstraction in software design, using examples like Napster to highlight how excessive focus on architecture can neglect user needs. He critiques the hype around tech trends that prioritize abstract concepts over practical features.
The paper proposes Adaptive Bayesian Partner Selection (ABPS), a peer-to-peer federated learning framework that adaptively selects collaboration partners using Bayesian methods to reduce communication costs while maintaining accuracy in heterogeneous healthcare settings.
A developer describes embedding a peer-to-peer multiplayer dungeon game into a static blog using WebRTC and Trystero, with deterministic procedural generation and no backend server.
bitchat can now send itself to another Android phone with no internet required, enabling offline peer-to-peer communication.
Bitchat, a chat application, is now available on Radicle, a decentralized code collaboration platform.
Describes a method for peer-to-peer local file transfer using WebRTC technology.
Mesh LLM is a distributed AI computing platform that pools idle GPUs across multiple machines to run large language models, exposing a single OpenAI-compatible API. It leverages iroh's peer-to-peer networking to enable private, decentralized inference without a central server.
Altersend is a file transfer tool that operates without cloud storage, requiring no account and offering unlimited transfers.
The article demonstrates how to build a smart fan using an ESP32 microcontroller and the iroh networking library, enabling peer-to-peer control without a cloud service.
This paper analyzes the effect of structural and temporal heterogeneities in decentralized federated learning over temporal networks, showing that ignoring these heterogeneities leads to unrealistically rapid convergence and that real-world networks slow down diffusion.
The Sneakerweb is a peer-to-peer protocol and CLI tool for decentralized web publishing that stores websites on user devices and transfers them via physical media, enabling offline browsing and permissionless sharing.
A retrospective on BitTorrent's 25-year history, detailing its creation by Bram Cohen, its role in revolutionizing file-sharing and piracy, and its impact on internet traffic and the entertainment industry.
Rayfish is a peer-to-peer mesh VPN that operates without a central server, enhancing privacy and security by eliminating the need to trust a single authority.
peerd is an open-source browser extension that serves as an AI agent harness, enabling agents to run entirely within the browser without a backend, using WebAssembly for sandboxed compute and WebRTC for peer-to-peer agent communication.
This paper explores techniques for crawling BitTorrent Distributed Hash Tables (DHTs) to monitor and analyze peer activity, with implications for security and privacy.
Noema Atlas is a free and open-source peer-to-peer desktop app for decentralized distribution of LLM model weights, using content-addressed verification and Iroh for direct machine-to-machine transfers, with Hugging Face as a fallback.
This paper proposes a layered architecture for distributed general-purpose agent networks, enabling heterogeneous AI agents to discover, trust, and cooperate on open-ended tasks across personal devices and edge nodes.
Webxdc is a secure, peer-to-peer mini app format for chats that runs offline with zero tracking, enabling private games and collaboration without servers or app stores.
