This project allows you to host a website, content, and streaming from an open browser window. It gets served over WebRTC connections (or a Cloudfare turn server if that's not available).
This is just a start. Any suggestions or feedback to improve usability, feature requests, etc is super welcome.
This is a project I've had in mind for a while. I wanted to participate in building for a decentralized web, so I thought it would be cool if people could run a social network kind of page from their own machine, and allow them to diffuse content over a peer to peer net, independent of the typical social media giants.
While this iteration is not quite that, it's a start.
While the UI probably makes this super obvious, this is the first time I've used AI in coding (LLM, Claude Code). It really is some impressive machinery.
The goal isn't privacy, but rather autonomy, more or less. I know there are real limitations (like a host user closing their browser) but I feel like the idea is at least slightly novel (probably because its a mediocre idea lol).. but it'll be interesting to see how it evolves.
If you made it this far, thanks for the read. Hope you have a pleasant day.
