There is the command-line interface `gnunet-publish`, `gnunet-search` and `gnunet-download`.

There is nim chat application: https://git.gnunet.org/gnunet-nim.git/

There is also an unmaintained guile bulletin board: https://git.gnunet.org/gnunet-guile2.git/

I found this 6-minute video from Oct 2018[0] which gives a great overview of GNUnet and compares it to the existing internet layers. It's pretty cool.

I wish they'd write a tutorial or something so that I know how to get started playing around with it.

I like GNUnet. Very great project. However trying to figure out how to use it was a utter pain and no 'kiler app' for it exists. Its very researchy. But I really like everything they are doing.

Looks like voice communications are also possible.

Now that makes it interesting; imagine a few micro routers such as the TpLink TL-MR3020 or any other similar device that once turned on boot their OpenWRT with GNUnet extensions then connect together allowing the users to talk each other no matter where they are located. That would be a killer application (probably along with codec2 over LoRa) for deployment in certain sensitive areas, provided the users can mask its traffic nature from sniffers.
