Beaker Browser – experimental peer to peer web browser
I always have wondered why peer-to-peer wasn’t the obvious solution to hug of death. More visitors? More servers!<p>But I get that there are extreme technical hurdles here. Iirc Spotify started off with that and abandoned it. If so, the challenges have so far outweighed the benefits.<p>But it fits my sense of what the web should/could be. Asymmetric connections (slow upload) and hostile ISP TOS really cemented the server/client distinction ... but I live imagining that a different way is possible.<p>Congrats on getting Beaker to a real place.
