Things like Nostr, Bitcoin and Lightning SDKs, Peardrive core, etc are going to make it even easier to do secure authentication, simple monetary integrations, and simple sovereign hosting or private connections.
This was VIBE CODED people! Even though I’ve not shared our many iterations, I’ve had this exact experience. Getting a basic tool for P2P sharing working in a few hours and then just fixing quirks and UI stuff for a few days to make it feel cleaner.
Things like the Pear stack, and Iroh, and Holesail (fyi Pete Winn (nprofile…ta3h) drop Tailscale and just use Holesail here, much simpler UX) are huge leaps forward in the ability to self host these things.
My hope as well is that Peardrive core makes this so utterly simple to build with that amateur coders could use it in a way that feels no different than simple web development. And what you can do when you unleash people to create anything they can imagine is just wild.
We are going to win, but we will be waiting for it to happen until everyone reading this post realizes that YOU CAN JUST BUILD THINGS!
quotingI love the moment I realised this had worked - lol wasn't expecting that 🤣

Gigi (nprofile…tf6v) - you might be interested in this one. Syncthing but nostr :)
Next steps...
This is probably enough for what I need, running over tailscale and syncing files ;) Will probably add iroh/quic for something remote and have a look at phones.
Then maybe file syncing so you can have a p2p shared folder for shared folders.
