I made a fun little thing over the weekend that had been on my mind since the local-first conf. I combined @ethersync and the Language Server Protocol to enable some kind of real-time collaboration in Helix.

I use the "textDocument/didChange" event to track editor's changes and convert them to an edit message in Ethersync.

When a peer makes changes, the other peer receives them from the Ethersync daemon and converts them into a "workspace/applyEdit" message.

Also thinking about using inlay hints for showing other peer's cursor

I'm not sure if that will even be able to work properly, but it's worth trying anyway

I blogged about The Dweb Project for the second time in a year 🥳

About time! Best of all you can read my 'toast' blog on the web *or* on the #AutonomiDweb because this project is all about creating a secure, decentralised web on the Autonomi peer-to-peer network.

I explain the state of the project after one year and how to check it out by loading my #Publii blog from Autonomi hOOt!

The secure, decentralised #p2p web is one download away.

FilePizza: Peer-to-peer file transfers in your browser

｢ Using WebRTC, FilePizza eliminates the initial upload step required by other web-based file sharing services. Because data is never stored in an intermediary server, the transfer is fast, private, and secure ｣

Conspire is a chat service.

No account creation.

Each room has a unique URL, it is the key to the room.

Generates a long random URL for privacy.

Anyone with the URL can join the room, share with trusted participants via a secure service such as end-to-end encrypted email for privacy.

File sharing via peer-to-peer connection.

Rooms self-destruct after use.

@Mer__edith Yeah and this is why when there's something with a use case similar to what #Signal is intended for, I always ask if it's #P2P.

A while back I suggested creating a P2P voice/ video calling feature for Delta Chat. Well, good news everyone! #TIL something along those lines has been developed, and is in active testing for a future release;

Great work @delta devs!

The fall of the #VisionOnTV reboot based on #PeerTube was a loss for grassroots media and activist history.

Why? Because over the last ten years, many of our most spiky videos, that told the truth about power, protest, and real-world struggle - have been quietly erased from the #dotcons. YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook… one by one, the archives of resistance are disappearing under “content moderation” and algorithmic amnesia.

The #VisionOnTV project was different. It was a piece of the #openweb — a living, federated video commons built on #P2P infrastructure. It held stories that mattered: direct action, environmental defence, social movements, community struggles. It wasn’t perfect, but it worked — messy, transparent, alive.

Now it’s gone. And with it, a piece of our collective memory.

We need to reboot this path while the backups and fragments still exist. This is not nostalgia, more about preserving the roots of grassroots action so we can grow new ones. Without memory, there is no movement. Without archives, there is no accountability.

It’s time to dig, compost, and rebuild.

To everybody currently experiencing the #Signal messenger downtime and precariousness of digital infrastructure that relies on servers, know that #Keet exists! It can preserve network connectivity and message deliverability in very degraded and hostile network conditions due to the absence of servers in its #p2p architecture.

The world needs resilient communications for what is to come. Don't let your whole network depend on one company.

Want to send messages and video calls with:

* no installs
* no sign-ups
* no tracking
* end-to-end encryption

This new prototype uses PeerJS to establish a secure browser-to-browser connection. Everything is ephemeral and cleared when you refresh the page—true zerodata privacy!

Check out the [testable demo here](https://p2p.positive-intentions.com/iframe.html?globals=&id=demo-p2p-messaging--p-2-p-messaging&viewMode=story).

I am working towards a look-and-feel to match Whatsapp as seen in this [hardcoded UI demo](http://glitr.positive-intentions.com).

IMPORTANT NOTE: This is still a work-in-progress and a close-source project. It is based on the open source MVP see [here](https://github.com/positive-intentions/chat). It has NOT been audited or reviewed. For testing purposes only, not a replacement for your current messaging app.

In a month I'm starting a bi-weekly-ish "p2p lecture" series in @offline!

It's about radical peer-to-peer, local-first, convergent data-types and networking.

14.10. at 7pm is the first session.

Read everything about it here:

One of thing that I find annoying in various decentralized identities is that in 99.99% cases or more it is some awful unreadable meaningless opaque string (obviously either public key or its hash).
Humanity should create more meaningful (human-friendly) form of decentralized identies, that likely could be visualized as some "contact card", optionally with image, with name, and e. g. qr code or other representation of cryptographic material. ⬇️

Hi friends, I'm one of several people working on LoRes Mesh, a #NeighbourhoodFirst hosting solution made up of multiple local web hosts connected #p2p in a mesh network in order to provide resilient local communications in this era of #ClimateEmergency

As part of trying to work in the open, I want to share our public roadmap at:

https://lores.tech/roadmap/

You'll see we're not yet at a production release, although we do have a working platform for installing apps (docker compose stacks) and P2P communication (using #p2panda).

Drop me a line if you can see a use for this, have views on the roadmap, would like to help build it, or fund it (it's non-profit).
