It's kind of interesting to see P2P coming back! I'm happy to see more P2P projects popping up. When the Snowden leaks came out, there was a brief interest in P2P encrypted messaging. I wonder if the political climate now is bringing interest back.
Back in 2014 (I believe briar started in 2015) I wrote a realtime P2P application platform. Not only could you send encrypted messages between people, but you can also send files, play games, and write and share programs together, all within the application. The use case for mine is different than briar's.

P2P is really fun but also important and I'm happy to see interest in P2P apps coming back!
G'day mempko, I remember firestr! Very nice! You might remember around the same time (2013) I started Peergos. We're still working on it!
