Okay - a litle update. It's been ~1.5 years.

Here is a very early demo of running a p2p-news-app in a web browser.

It leverages hyperswarm-dht-relay in a similar fashion to nostr relays.
Hopefully this will soon be a lot more mature :-)

I know it does not yet look like the wireframes you originally shared.

@hamishcampbell

i am not sure if you are familiar with `git`, but technically if you `git clone` the repository to download it and install nodejs from the official website, then run the simple commands described in the repository README file, it should work for you as well 馃檪

It should then work between you and anyone in the world who runs the same codebase ...all from your computer to theirs, no servers involved

@hamishcampbell

dont know.
the goal is to have ever contribution recorded - in a way git does that already, but more than that have payment info recorded too, so if - in the future - anyone pays or donates fubding to some content, product, service, whatever it is, it wont just go to the person who is directly connected to that funding source, but it automatically bubbles up through the entire "supply network" that helped indirectly to enable the value.

So, anyone contributing UX benefits too

@hamishcampbell

This is taking the most time of all the things, but it is what makes dat-ecosystem into what we envision it to be - otherwise its just again unsustainable or depends on some sort of grants or unreliable sources of funding... all centralized instead of organized by the ppl and community around the peer produced commons ....

@hamishcampbell

Now otherwise its just like building a house... you paint it at the end... you cant really paint it while you are still re-arranging the walls and stuff - otherwise the paint will be damaged and scratches and you have to do it over and over again - so better to wait until the end 馃榿
