>Anyone knows where to dive in?
you can bookmark https://plebbit.github.io/docs/ i'll finish writing these docs soon, they will explain everything including a technical comparison vs federated socials and blockchain socials. I'll also include guides on how to create your own plebbit client using react, run a node, etc.
Nice, thanks, I'll be sure to check in here to see how it goes.
I'm really curious how the p2p network is built. But I guess I'll be able to read more about that. I had this vision of a p2p infrastructure for the web, and have from time to time had some spare time to work on it. The basic idea there is to have everyone build a trust network of their own and then build different apps on top of that that can all use the same trust network for re-implementing the web. It uses key-pairs for identities, and all connections are e2e encrypted. I did not have time to implement DHT yet, but use a custom made relay node which anyone can run to allow this to work behind firewalls without cumbersome setup. I know how to fix this, and there are bigger unknowns at the moment to figure out.
Working full time+ with a SaaS company that is on board with migrating their product to the p2p network behind the scenes, and if it works well enough, we can just drop the cost of running the servers. That said there are many challenges before that will happen, but I'm determined to get it done. Already build an abstraction layer to make development look like any old web stack, to make "regular" developers feel at home.
From what I read on the page you referenced, I agree on the need for this kind of system to be developed, and even if my design is a bit different I think this is really interesting.
BWT was it complicated to get started with the reddit source?
