Cheers for the response! Extremely excited to hear you’ve heard about open sourcing from the devs, I’m gonna keep my eye out for sure!! Excited to read about dht!
yea🤘 the tech is really fascinating. Like yea, the p2p-approach introduces some new challenges, but it solves so many existing ones:
For example costs. The more popular an app gets, the more traffic it gets, the more it costs to run it. I’ve heard telegram spends hundreds of millions of dollars on servers, with hundreds of developers.
P2P is the complete opposite. Keet is made by a small team, and the more people use it, the better it runs (because more peers can relay data). It can scale with no such restrictions.
someone should do the math of what would be the environmental impact if all communication went p2p instead of datacentres.
Yeah I have been trying to read a bit more about DHT (good lord these are complicated, one video attempted to explain hypercubes??! 😵💫). It seems one of the bigger use cases is in torrenting! Which is fascinating, both from technical and security perspectives.
From what I’ve learned, it’s clear DHT is extremely scalable and resilient, which kicks ass! If it also brings inherent security benefits, I’d say this is a clear choice for a new messaging platform!! 😃 I’ll have to learn a bit more first though to be sure.
What I can say is the app itself is GORGEOUS, and very responsive! The devs are also quite active in the community chat room, and seems to listen to (and have full intents to act on) user feedback, which is amazing!

Thanks again for sharing the app! 🙂
