Been feeling this way about hosting for a while now...  I&#x27;m actually anticipating (wishing?) that &quot;p2p web&quot; (decentralized LAN applications) is going to start taking off soon. I think it&#x27;s a matter of people building software that makes LANs easier to use for ordinary people.  BT Sync is an excellent example of something like this.  So is WebTorrent.<p>I had fantasies when Web Audio and Web Midi first were announced of browser based digital audio tools that people would use in one anothers physical presence, over a small local network.  There is no reason that every network application needs to depend on centralized services!  I was lucky enough to attend Music Hack Day in Berlin and created this Web Midi&#x2F;WebRTC chat room as an example.  I have no idea if it still works or not: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;timbresmith&#x2F;pandemonium" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;timbresmith&#x2F;pandemonium</a>
