Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Holepunch Unveils P2P Platform "Pear Runtime"
This looks exciting and I'm pleased to see more and more frictionless ways of making p2p apps. I've been building a somewhat similar hobby project [1] that aims to connect peers in the browser by piggybacking on open protocols out on the net (BitTorrent, MQTT, Nostr, IPFS, etc).
This project seems to be using Hyperswarm which I've looked at for use as a peering medium but it seems like it's not supported in the browser. I'd love to implement it if that story changes since it's so easy to distribute apps on the web.

Is offline-first not enough? Do we need "serverfree"?
I was going to mention WebRTC! It seems designed for video calling, but there are lots of cool use cases - I recently ran across https://github.com/dmotz/trystero , a dead simple WebRTC library for peer-to-peer multiplayer browser games.

Ready Player Two – What the Multiplayer Web Can Learn from Video Games
I strongly endorse Trystero (https://github.com/dmotz/trystero) for enabling P2P communication in web apps. It’s open source and leverages public infrastructure for matchmaking.

Artico: WebRTC made simple
Nice work! Any reason one might use this over https://github.com/dmotz/trystero, you think?

UnCloud project: WebRTC chat, file transfer, and remote observation
Yes, this is a major issue that I haven't found a real solution for. There seems to be a mixture of iOS Safari bugs and intentional design limitations at play, and I don't know if a fully P2P web app like Chitchatter is practical on that platform. There's an open issue to improve this in Trystero (the networking library that Chitchatter uses), but there may be a limit to how stable iOS will be with WebRTC apps. 😕

WebRTC for p2p voice calling app?
You can use Trystero (https://github.com/dmotz/trystero) to cut server costs to zero. That’s what I used to build https://chitchatter.im/, which supports P2P audio and video calls.

WebTorrent
WebTorrent is obviously well suited for p2p file distribution, but using a minimal subset of the protocol also provides a nice hack for easily bootstrapping peer connections between web app users. Piggybacking on public mediums already designed to do peer exchange can let you rapidly prototype a WebRTC project without the hassle of running your own server anywhere.
I built a library that explores this idea: https://github.com/dmotz/trystero

Taking the Power Back with Web Meshes
First, I need to give credit to Dan Motzenbecker and his incredible work with the Trystero JavaScript library. Trystero serves as the direct inspiration for the web mesh concept. Trystero is one of the most powerful and fascinating libraries I've ever found and I don't understand how it doesn't have many thousands of stars on GitHub. Please give Trystero a look and consider how you might use it in your own projects.

I built a decentralized, serverless, peer-to-peer private chat app that's open source, ephemeral, and runs entirely in the browser
BitTorrent - source code literally hardcodes 5 tracker URLs ...

I Moved My Blog from IPFS to a Server
It's because of the kind of content that is shared. BitTorrent serves a lot of content you are not allowed to redistribute, so having an open gateway immediately puts you at risk of aiding the distribution of content. But it does work, someone even made something native to browsers so browsers themselves can share content: https://webtorrent.io/. There are even fuse "gateways" to make it native to your computer and pretend the files exist locally: https://github.com/search?q=bittorrent+fuse&type=repositorie...
IPFS doesn't seem to be used for that kind of content much, it seems to be targeted more towards web-native content (html pages, images, that kind of stuff). It's probably safer for Cloudflare to run this.

Time to watch my favourite ads featuring videos!
Then https://github.com/webtorrent/webtorrent could be used to actually download the videos in browser, the idea being here though, that you would at least seed out as much as you got. Enabling other's to access videos without requiring creators have the infrastructure to push a video to 1000s or more clients at once.

Reddit should have to identify users who discussed piracy, film studios tell court
Peertube can opportunistically use WebTorrent to ease the load on the server & have clients watching a video share the parts between themselves.

Transmission v4.0
I stopped torrenting some time ago, but what are people's experience with webtorrent?
I'd just as soon avoid running additional software if possible.
