This is the perfect application for Blochcian

* Nobody can manipulate the reviews as everything is stored in Blockhcian.

* Nobody can start asking for money one day suddenly as the whole thing runs on a smart contract and once a smart contract is deployed there is no way to change the code.

* The articles are not stored or controlled by a central server.

Just want to mention that Zulip is not a Slack clone. The development of Zulip was started in August 2012[1] while Slack was released in August 2013. Folks who are interested to know more should take a look at https://zulipchat.com/why-zulip/

Django + DigitalOcean + Vue.js(If necessary)

I don't think Steve is stupid enough to make the new design compulsory. He has mentioned hundreds of times how the redesign killed Digg. Old users would keep using Reddit by visiting old.reddit.com (or by opting out of redesign). They are not going anywhere.

That makes sense. Thanks :)

Does IPFS solve the monetization problem?

This comment has some insights on why I decided to use WebTorrent over IPFS.

Sure. Do let me know when you need some help :)

I don't think many people have heard of Android One. Also, the people who have heard of Android One can easily differentiate it from Google One.

This sounds super interesting. Let me read more about this. :)

Gun looks pretty cool. I have not fully fixed the STUN/ICE problem. Some of the users on HN are still not able to see the articles. I think the problem reduced a bit after I started running a TURN server. But it's not full eliminated yet. Check out my tweet to Feross. Maybe he has some answers :) https://twitter.com/hackerkidx/status/996009992569274369

Thanks :)

Can you explain this a bit more? Also no content created by the user is stored in Peerdium server. Everything is stored in the browser of the user.

Yes. That is correct :)

I am not sure it's an issue with iOS + safari. More likely to be a network issue.

Thanks for letting know. There is already an issue open for this in the repo https://github.com/hackerkid/peerdium/issues/2 :)

If there is demand for the service I will try renaming the project :)

Nope. I am not seeding the articles. If no one else seeding the article it won't be available.

Also you can store the files in local storage by hearting the article.

Interesting question. I was also considering to use IPFS js while developing Peerdium. But it seems like it's not fully ready yet. For example, take a look at this

> DHT (automatic content discovery) and Circuit Relay (pierce through NATs and dial between any node in the network) are two fundamental pieces that are not finalized yet.

Another reason was that I had to still run an IPFS node if articles should be made available for more than 8 hours. I didn't want to do anything with storing articles.

Does your network blocks Torrent ports?

Never thought about it before. Sounds interesting. Let me see if I can integrate one of these easily :)

Yup. You have the option to save the article as well by clicking on the heart icon. This allows you to view the article even if no one else is seeing it.

Yup. That is correct. Once the people seeding decided to take it off it is no longer stored anywhere :)

Yes. I think Peerdium is not at all necessary for 99% of the use cases. You can just use a normal publishing platform. Peerdium can become useful if you don't want a single point of failure. That is anyone can spin up Peerdium servers from source code and the links would still work as long as someone is seeding the content. Also nothing is stored in a server. So if you want to share some content that you don't want to get stored in someone's private server then Peerdium can be used as well.

Yes. So the author has to keep the tab open till the post gets other seeders :)

It's the number of people who have the tab opened == no of people seeding the post. When you open a post you get the content from other seeders and starts seeding the post :)

Awesome. I just woke up after posting this to HN and your page is still alive :)

Yup. I thought I fixed that typo. I can't fix it now as the identifier of the post would change :)

Yeah. Torrent ports are often blocked in corporations and some universities. You should check out at home :)
