Holepunch

Holepunch is the company behind the P2P stack we talked about in this interview, focused exclusively on building serverless, device-to-device systems. If you care about resilient, censorship-resistant infrastructure and privacy-first design, they’re one of the more serious teams pushing P2P beyond the old BitTorrent stereotypes.

Pros

+Focused exclusively on peer-to-peer technology
+Designed for resilience and censorship resistance
+Built around reducing hidden infrastructure incentives

Cons

-Some user-facing pieces (like certain front ends) may not be fully open source yet
-P2P concepts can be more complex for non-technical users
