Cult of the Dead Cow unveils Veilid peer-to-peer project
Loving that lead paragraph.
byte1000, If an app on one device connects to an app on another via Veilid, it shouldn’t be possible for either client to know the other’s IP address or location from that connectivity, which is good for privacy, for instance. The app makers can’t get that info, either.
Is that considered a new thing? I don’t think I’ve ever encountered a P2P service/protocol that also masks IP addresses.
Mubelotix, 
They just had to add i2p transport to ipfs, could be done in 200 LoC
Nucelar, Again? If it isnt the 3rd time this week....
HughJanus, Can someone ELI5?
Hazzia, Hacktivist group made a privacy framework so people can make more secure apps
Anyone (supposedly) can make an app off of it, not just security people, which is good
HughJanus, What kind of apps?
Syl, 
I guess anything from the fediverse for example. Chat, voice, video. Not sure about storage like ipfs but why not.
ghazi, 
@HughJanus @Hazzia they built a Signal-like IM app as a proof of concept. It's called VeilidChat.
https://veilid.com/chat/
HughJanus, I can’t see anything on the Gitlab without an account. Where is the repository?
sure, Tried looking with my account, but the link just goes to a 404
Mechanize, I checked on their profile and indeed there is no veilidchat or similar repository.
Using the site search with duckduckgo it gives the same link that goes nowhere, so probably there was a repo but it got taken down? I’ve no idea.
