BTW, do you know of any real projects using Tent? It does sound interesting.

Going back to P2P: building a flooding P2P library on top of a DHT seems like a total waste. But maybe the common parts could be extracted.


Yup. There's a microblogging app (Twitter clone) called TentStatus, available hosted at https://tent.is, or run your own instance of the code: https://github.com/tent/tent-status. Several people are working on iOS and Android apps to support the microblogging use case.

There's Essayist, a (very alpha) long-form blogging app, hosted at http://essayist.mndj.me, code at https://github.com/mwanji/essayist

Meanwhile, the inventors of Tent have 5 people working 60+ hours a week running Tent.is and developing the protocol and apps for it. They haven't revealed what's next, though it sounds like some non-status apps are in the works.


Not off the top of my head, no. Sorry. :( I know there's http://tent.is, and there's a Go client for Tent out there, but that's really all I know about it.


If I'm not mistaken, this is like email: it's decentralized, but still based on a client/server architecture.

I'm asking about P2P, even if client/server might be a better answer to that specific problem.


Hm. That's the closest I've got.

How's your Go? You can build one on Pastry. :)
