Oh, @feross made webtorrent-cli? Thank you @feross!! It’s the best torrent client I’ve ever used. It even quits when it’s done downloading by default instead of endlessly seeding by default. – at Wentzville, MO

Did you know that the FSF has a PeerTube account? #PeerTube is a decentralized, federated video platform powered by ActivityPub and WebTorrent, and you'll find us on the Framatube instance: u.fsf.org/36m

BitTorrent (BTT) was Web3 before Web 2.0 even existed.

As someone who's spent the last 2 years building an app on top of WebTorrent, I just want to say thank you! It's such an awesome project and an example of genuine decentralization / actual engineering—not phony get-rich-quick token stuff.

For some reason, WebTorrent is on the Hacker News homepage. Currently #2. I left a comment with some reflections on the project here: news.ycombinator.com/item?id…

Lot of teams use GUN + WebTorrent ♥ @Feross. GUN to sync the directory, magnet link, description, comments, etc. & WebTorrent to stream the video.

I am working with @marknadal to expand Gun's capabilities and build its DHT. Personally, I think Gun is the future. WT won't be going anywhere though. WT trackers are scarce and overloaded. But you can spin up your own: github.com/draeder/p2p-track…

If you've wondered why WebRTC is so weird and how it turned out that way this talk by @steely_glint at @fosdem helps explain it: Why WebRTC is the way it is archive.fosdem.org/2021/sche…

An interesting parallel between my conversation with @pfrazee (runtimepodcast.com/#10) and @feross (runtimepodcast.com/#8) is the value of having a server in the loop in a p2p system.

Episode 8 where @feross joins me to talk about wormhole, a file-sending app has dropped. Give it a listen! We get into the weeds about browser storage APIs, versioning websites, and p2p technologies. runtimepodcast.com/#8

Dear web developers building things with WebRTC, What WebRTC bugs in or features missing from Safari are you wrangling with? Are there any? Links to bugs.webkit.org tickets greatly appreciated. Or, er, required? Well, not required… needed. Yes, links needed. Thanks!

We believe that encryption is a human right. Apple's recent attack on end-to-end encryption threatens to undermine decades of work by technologists, academics and policy advocates towards strong privacy-preserving measures being the norm. Join us here: appleprivacyletter.com/
