Hey all, just letting you know that the core technology inside of Dat/Beaker is alive and well inside Keet [1] (a P2P communications app) and Pear [2] (a platform for building P2P desktop/mobile apps). Keet is built on Pear.

Both projects are built by Holepunch [3], a company we formed a few years back to keep the peer-to-peer candle burning. It's always a challenge but never dull. We're working on tons of mad science [4] all the time, and we're hiring [5]!

(Disclaimer: I work at Holepunch)

When is it getting open sourced?


Lookup the hypercore protocol, https://github.com/holepunchto


+1 to this, if you’re interested in any of this work then give holepunch a look. It’s the same protocol engineers, same core tech, from the folks who worked on beaker.
