The demo VeilidChat app doesn't lead anywhere, but there is a gitlab. I haven't tried it yet. https://gitlab.com/veilid/veilidchat edit: I did, I failed to build it with "version solving failed.", I am not learning how to debug Dart builds right now edit2: well, build.sh finished with some installing, but I still don't see any binary. Eh, other day.
There is a discord, which kinda misses the point.
The web needs more sites hosting raw .html pages formatted as plain text decorated with ASCII art with zero regard for mobile. I say this with complete sincerity.
You can support mobile with ASCII art if you render at different widths and use a HTML+CSS wrapper for media-queries! I have a whole proposal about this: https://gwern.net/utext

unfortunately most of their up to date documentation is on discord. there is a channel there with a list of active projects. this one caught my eye: https://github.com/cmars/distrans/
There's more than a little irony in a group complaining about the commercialization of the Internet putting documentation/information on Discord

> documentation on discord Disgusting. I have been looking for solid example code to play with building stuff on top of Veilid, but I’m absolutely unwilling to waste time on that shit chat platform tbh.
Not sure how up to date these are, but they also have docs hosted at https://veilid.com/docs/
I'm wondering how they defend against tor's problem where large % of nodes are malicious.

I have seen other similar tools/tech on hn https://briarproject.org/ https://github.com/berty/berty There were 1 or 2 more like these but don't remember there names.
I know MaidSAFE started out this way in 2006, but I think the I had a crypto digression https://maidsafe.net/
I had high hopes for Veilid when it was unveiled (ha) but I stopped hearing about it soon after it was published online. Veilid Chat didn't really seem to work once I found the source code and except for a few "hello world" networking programs I haven't seen anything use the protocol yet. The official website doesn't seem to be getting any updates anymore. A shame, because this has a lot to offer, in my opinion.
