Cool idea. I have always looked around to see any alternative for Instagram (server, not client) None of them are satisfied. I hope your app can eventually integrated with immich. For example, adding photos with specific tag will upload to the p2p network with strict group acl.
I don’t want an exact clone of Instagram server. Only publishing content to my friends instead of strangers is exactly what I want ;)
Btw, how does the others find a new client? Exposing ip to strangers from internet sounds horrible. Can we only allow connecting via links invitation with expiration?
Also check out https://getaether.net/ although this project is dead and it always don’t have enough ppl. They also have to implement a feature for removing illegal content.
People should not connect to strangers on this app because of the potential risks of IP exposure… But between people you trust or between your own devices, it should work as expected for testing.
As for allowing links with expiration, you basically have that already with what looks like the login/logout functionality. There is no actual registration, it’s just a UI for creating and deleting crypto random ID profiles.
Lemmy and the fediverse is a good idea. The federation makes it so I can see Lemmy posts on mastodon. Etc… id like to draw a parallel in my app with the chat-view and the inteagram-view

I don’t think this kind of app could be an alternative to instagram because of it only being P2P with only people you know.
The app is using webRTC which exposes IP addresses, so you wouldn’t want something like a global feed on this.
Immich sounds interesting. I’d like to make time to check it out.

I am glad we have Lemmy now.
My app is different because the auth is handled between peers. So it could only every be people you shared your ID with. Security is important for me on this project. Its more important than the app being popular. https://www.reddit.com/r/CyberSecurityAdvice/comments/1ev5kqn/is_this_a_secure_messaging_app/
