I am one of likely many people who follow Veilid with interest, but from a distance. There is something not entirely clear to me wrt Veilid positioning.

AFAIU it now #Veilid is not a protocol effort, where an ecosystem starts to implement an open standard (similar to AP and ATProto) - which I originally thought it was.

Now I have the impression that Veilid is server software + app framework, to get started right away writing secure, privacy-respecting #p2p apps.

Or is it both?

This weekend wraps a replatforming of the #stigmerge CLI onto a high level #filesharing API. A necessary step towards a #Transmission like interface. Experimenting with #tauri now.

A few bug fixes happened as well :)

Need to fix #rust docs.rs, they're not building yet 🤦

Some exciting #stigmerge updates to share!

All stigmerge peers are now seeders -- there are no #leechers in official stigmerge releases. Sharing is caring! #veilid private routing mitigates the privacy hazards normally associated with sharing content over public networks directly.

Peers gossip with each other constantly, advertising themselves and discovering new neighbors -- and they store these contact lists in the #veilid DHT like a pheromone trail. So even when an original seeder is long gone and goes offline -- if just one of its last-known neighbors is online, future travelers still have a chance to join a live swarm of active peers.

Fetchers can balance downloads among multiple peers, gravitating towards the most productive ones.

It's also super-easy to run stigmerge from an OCI container now (#Docker or #Podman as you like).

Check out the updated README for more details -- and the 0.5.6 release to try these new superpowers out for yourself!
