jspaint.exe VS tribler

This is very polished and cool looking. Inspiring. I find this project's level of polish very inspiring.

It's lovely to see someone has captured this idea and expressed it in the right way to make it interesting to many people. I really hope this mode of desktop apps can take off, at least to the level where the community has something to explore for a while to see if it works. I made something like this for Chrome browsers a while ago, nodejs backends, vanilla front-ends, built-in packaging using pkg. It's just a nice approach: https://github.com/dosyago/graderjs

And I made a demo using the venerable MS Paint clone JS Paint^0. The dev experience was great, I literally just dropped in the front-end code to the right folder, compiled it and wham, "desktop JS paint" on 3 platforms, haha.

Using the ubiquitous local browser as the rendering / API engine for desktop just seems smart. And it's technically interesting, because you get to think in terms of how can you step back from the browser, the platform, the front-end and the back-end and come up with a general API that addresses all of it, which is kinda cool.

I noticed that too:

But not much else about it. Would be interested to read more. Using torrent seeding as a form of Proof-of-Work that rewards tokens is actually an interesting use case for cryptocurrency, and not as energy-hungry.

> We use our own dedicated Tor-like network for anonymous torrent downloading. We implemented and enhanced the Tor protocol specifications. Tribler includes our own Tor-like onion routing network with hidden services based seeding and end-to-end encryption.

I first thought "Is Justin Bieber gay?" in their release was some kind of vandalism of their release, but no, they pose that question as a vehicle for how their software is attempting to solve(?) trusted tagging

Tribler is made exactly for decentralized sharing of torrents. Wikipedia describes it as an overlay network for content searching. It doesn't seem to have enough content the few times i've tried it, but it should exactly be the solution for centralized tracker/torrent sites.

There's a torrent client called tribler that is basically Tor but built for torrenting

You kid, but our research group developed Tribler which is a safer, more privacy-oriented torrenting client for BitTorrent networks. We have many Ph.Ds who literally are professional pirates :D

Wish more people would use Tribler.

Tribler does it all, and anonymously.
