  • bisq

    A decentralized bitcoin exchange network

    So is this basiclly a fully peer-to-peer application, like bittorrent clients?

    Or something like bisq (https://bisq.network) when the program runs locally peer to peer and hosts all user data locally, but still pings oracle servers for outside market price data?

  • realm-object-server

    Discontinued Tracking of issues related to the Realm Object Server and other general issues not related to the specific SDK's

    Hopefully the sync tech being developed for it is solidly open, but it's good to have access to your data regardless.

    The thing that always bothered me about that article is:

    > Notably, the object server is open source and self-hostable, which reduces the risk of being locked in to a service that might one day disappear.

    It appears that the object server is neither open source and nor self-hostable. The repository that they link is mostly empty. It has a rich version history of "releases" that only change the changelog file.

    I assume the article was accurate when written, and have always wondered what happened. So I suspect mongo rewrote the git history to remove the code when they bought Realm. Was it ever open source? Did they intimidate people into taking down forks or did nobody bother?

    I do see an edit to the README around that time adding that a license is required to run the self-hosted server. It is dated about two months before the linked article, but they may not have noticed or it may be back-dated:

  • v86

    x86 PC emulator and x86-to-wasm JIT, running in the browser

    I think you are looking for Shadow.

    Or just the whole kitchen sink. Why not?

  • trystero

    ✨🤝✨ Build instant multiplayer webapps, no server required — Magic WebRTC matchmaking over BitTorrent, Nostr, MQTT, IPFS, Supabase, and Firebase

    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.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
