Products that do what Actyx – a distributed foundation for local-first software does

Actyx [1] is a fully decentralised peer-to-peer event stream database in the spirit of Local-First Software [2] and local-first cooperation [3]. It is written in Rust and based on libp2p and IPFS. After 5 years of development, we are finally releasing it under the Apache 2.0 license. Another way to look at it: Actyx is a durable and reliable messaging middleware without any central brokers. You can publish events at any computer (e.g. RPi, Android Phone, Tablet) at any time — with perfect availability! — and receive these events at other computers if there is some network path to get them…

    For the past 5 years or so I've been working on a ground-up redesign of Freenet, my peer-to-peer project from the early 2000s (now renamed Hyphanet). The new Freenet has been up and running since December along with some early applications like River[1], our decentralized group chat and Delta - a decentralized CMS. Users have already started to build their own apps on Freenet including games, and we have some interesting apps in development like Atlas, a search/recommendation engine. Architecturally, this new Freenet is a global, decentralized key-value store where keys are webassembly…

    Kiyeovo is a decentralized, end-to-end encrypted messenger. It requires no accounts, no email, no central servers. Peers find each other and talk directly over libp2p. kad-DHT stores messages for offline peers and handles finding other users by their username/peerID. After almost a year of solo development, this is the first release. More details are in the repository README, but in short, here are the features: - realtime end-to-end encrypted messages - Direct & group video and audio calls with screen sharing options - messages securely persisted when the other side is not online -…

    I'd like to share a project I've been working on for the past few months. It's a distributed workflow engine written entirely in Go. Some highlights: * Tasks are executed in a Docker container * Can run stand-alone or distributed * Highly extensible * Able to enforce limits (CPU/RAM) per task * Web UI Would love the get your feedback on it, and find out if this could be useful.
