Good idea. If there were some way to store that data in a more permanent form, that would have been awesome. Either way, a small nit. > Peerdium would not have been possible with WebTorrent, QuillJs and Vue.js I think you meant "Peerdium would not have been possible WITHOUT WebTorrent, QuillJs and Vue.js"
Just made my own post and would love to see how long it can stay up for (and if people will host it for me): https://peerdium.com/5558335f57ef076dea5566bd09c111be4ea5769...
Congrats! This is a really nice project. I'm amazed that the editor is just 200 lines of code and i like the minimalistic design. Assuming the number in the right side are the spectators. Could you show on the left side how many peers are seeding?
The concern is that someone has to have a post open before I can access it. How does this scale? (Oh, you build it for fun. So no problem.)
Was going to say, I remember https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9531265 that had the very same idea as this. The thing is, what's the benefit of an ephemeral page? What can I do better if someone else is seeding it for me? Is it that hard to centrally host these bits?
This is neat. How does it work with search engines? Just lots of 404s once articles 'disappear'?
So if the only person reading the article closes it, is the article lost? Since there is no one else to retrieve the data from for future readers.
This would be interesting if combined with something like BAT or AdSense or Coinhive to earn revenue from viewing then use that revenue to pay for seeding via something like Sia/ Filecoin.
off topic, I wish one of these peer-to-peer schemes caught on, if only because it will incentivize people to buy a desktop computer which will serve as network node. There's so many interesting things that can be done if people can be convinced that they are part of the network and not just "tablet users".
I wonder if anyone is trying to build home routers that double as ipfs/torrent nodes.
