dat-ecosystem is a post-web p2p community of projects - Most projects are self funded. Some of the projects contribute maintainance and development to core pieces of the Dat ecosystem while others create high level applications built on top of p2p protocols.

I stumbled onto this interesting protocol. Already has a browser using it called the beaker browser

Basically a decentralized protocol for data with Git-like features built-in. I wonder if any of you have stumbled onto this. Any thoughts ?

    What is it?
    From one of the projects

    Agregore, a browser for the distributed web, facilitates peer-to-peer data sharing without central servers, supporting protocols like BitTorrent and IPFS for direct loading and sharing of content.

    So instead of putting stuff (like my webpage) on a server, I share it P2P? But then my computer has to run 24/7 which basically makes it a server, right?

      IIRC from when I tried this before, I think anyone who views the page then hosts it too. I’m not sure if there’s systems in place to stop the storage used ballooning, surely there are.
