Trying to make it effortless to build p2p apps without any setup: https://trystero.dev

I'm the Trystero author and I'd say both libs attempt to accomplish the same goal but with very different APIs. One key difference is PeerJS uses a single centralized server by def…

You might be interested in my side project Trystero https://github.com/dmotz/trystero It abstracts away the work of signaling and connects peers via open decentralized networks lik…

I have a side project that aims to organize your ebook highlight collections with on-device semantic search. [1] Right now it only indexes your own content but I'd like to add a mo…

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…

This is a really nice overview of the nuances of WebRTC. If you want to try this tech at a higher level, I maintain an experimental hobby project that attempts to abstract all the …

Two personal projects I'd like to get fully-baked eventually: https://emdash.ai My attempt to get more out of all my ebook highlights using on-device AI. https://github.com/dmotz/t…

A decade ago I built a silly JS library for folding up DOM elements like paper [1] and I eagerly anticipated using element() instead of tediously cloning nodes for every fold. Here…

Thanks for sharing, I like the name and I'll try it out. Yes, I'd like to add opt-in sharing features in the future -- seeing others' notes can be very insightful as you said.

Yes, I'd like to focus on more seamless ways to import your text and OCR is something I've considered. Your content addressable system sounds very interesting, let me know when you…

Yes, the demo mode is a random subset of things I've highlighted and it's heavily weighted around certain topics and sparse on others, so that's why some passages don't have the st…

I built a tool for myself for the purpose of grokking ideas from books called Emdash [1]. Over the years I've collected reams of highlights from books and articles but until recent…

Hello HN, I decided to clean up and launch a side project I’ve been using to do more with my highlights from books and essays. I lean on semantic embeddings to do things like showi…

Bit of a shameless plug but I've been thinking about this for a while and I recently built a free/open-source tool called Emdash [1] to tackle the problem. I’m a heavy ebook highli…

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 betwee…

I recently wrote a library to abstract away the tedious aspects of WebRTC called Trystero: Repo: https://github.com/dmotz/trystero Demo: https://oxism.com/trystero/ The goal is to …
