I'm a

Client ― Server


http:// is just misused.

"In a decentralized or peer-to-peer model, every peer is an equal authority in the network."


Client = Server


Client = Server

Everyone's a Peer.


dat://


dat:// is kind of like file://


The P2P Web embodies 3 principles:

▪ Anybody can be a server.

▪ Multiple computers can serve the same site.

▪ There is no back end.


"Once integrated into a browser, these principles enable users to publish independently of services, and move between applications freely."


Pro


▪ Cannot be shut down.

▪ Works well offline.

▪ Scales very-well.

▪ Authentication is not required.


Contra


▪ Not available without peers.

▪ Your computer is open to strangers.

▪ You must trust your peers.


Beaker Browser


100% offline-first


It's like a no man's land for sites.


Applications on the P2P web:


1. Don't use a centralized database or user accounts.


2. Store your data locally in your filesystem.


3. You grant them read/write permission.

Tools that make my life easier.



Is this production-ready?


"From researchers in universities all the way to the remote reaches of the amazon rainforest, people are already using these tools..."


No promises that it'll change the world.


It changes the way you experience the web.


Ambient


"... it must be as ignorable as it is interesting."

Brian Eno


"How can we make the Web work independently from the Internet?"
