   yeah there are alternatives for sure, but it takes time to discover them. But many search engine are offering searching of videos. So may just be a good idea to start building a public index of all the videos.

   And it is 2025, the HN crowd here can usually just deploy their video to CDN. Many business are also just hosting their own videos.

   BTW forgot to mention Odyssey underlying protocol is https://lbry.com

   And seems like there are past article about it on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24594663

4. twtxt

   3 11 2,221 3.1 Python

   Decentralised, minimalist microblogging service for hackers.

   

   Project mention: Show HN: S: decentralized social networking over static sites | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-03-11

   So, in essence this is very, very similar to TWTXT (https://github.com/buckket/twtxt).

   I'd imagine that similarly to TWTXT, this suffers from the same accessibility and barrier of entry issues. It's one thing when all you have to do is type text in a textbox and click "Submit", but it's a whole thing entirely when you have to screw around with updating your website to do anything.

19. davell

    18 2 3 7.2 Python

    Davell Message System is a decentralized peer-to-peer communication platform focused on absolute anonymity and security. It uses the Signal Protocol for end-to-end encryption and operates through the Tor network, hiding users’ IP addresses and metadata.

    

    Project mention: Davell Message System | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-10-15

    There are no servers, no phone numbers, no email addresses, and no logs. Just two people talking — privately, securely, and without leaving a trace.

    Unlike mainstream messengers, Davell isn’t designed for convenience. It’s designed for those who need true privacy — journalists, activists, security researchers, whistleblowers, or anyone tired of being watched.

    Messages are encrypted with AES-256-GCM and keys are exchanged using ECDH, ensuring every conversation is mathematically secure. All data stays on your device, protected by your own password. Even if someone took your computer, they couldn’t read a single message.

    Davell runs entirely over Tor, meaning your IP address and location are hidden at all times. Your identity is purely cryptographic — a key pair, not a phone number.

    At its core, Davell represents a simple idea:

    Communication should belong to people, not corporations or governments.

    This is not a product for everyone. It’s for those who understand that privacy isn’t paranoia — it’s power.

    Project mention: I built a marketplace for digital goods on TON — pay in TON/USDT, no cards, no KYC | dev.to | 2026-05-29

    Under the hood it's not a normal web app. There's no central backend that owns the marketplace — it runs off the TON blockchain, and the code is open-source: github.com/dearjohndoe/ton-agents-marketplace.
