@FansStability @feross Oh, @feross made webtorrent-cli? Thank you @feross!! It’s the best torrent client I’ve ever used. It even quits when it’s done downloading by default instead of endlessly seeding by default.

Did you know that the FSF has a PeerTube account? #PeerTube is a decentralized, federated video platform powered by ActivityPub and WebTorrent, and you'll find us on the Framatube instance: https://t.co/hZnD3TvRlR

@feross As someone who's spent the last 2 years building an app on top of WebTorrent, I just want to say thank you! It's such an awesome project and an example of genuine decentralization / actual engineering—not phony get-rich-quick token stuff.

Lot of teams use GUN + WebTorrent ♥ @Feross. GUN to sync the directory, magnet link, description, comments, etc. & WebTorrent to stream the video.
@Dzre @marknadal I am working with @marknadal to expand Gun's capabilities and build its DHT. Personally, I think Gun is the future. WT won't be going anywhere though. WT trackers are scarce and overloaded. But you can spin up your own:

An interesting parallel between my conversation with @pfrazee ( https://t.co/qP6Vq8Y4eu) and @feross ( https://t.co/VvhodzhkdQ) is the value of having a server in the loop in a p2p system.
