it almost feels like when Google+ got shoved into every google product because someone had a bee in their bonnet

    that actually seems fantastic and at least somewhat amenable to the establishment of a web UI (akin to how torrent trackers extract metadata about torrents, but more focused on the content of the repo). is it a nightmare to make a nix package for?

      It’s not a nightmare, but I’ve yet to succeed. npm2nix and node2nix struggle. napalm puts up a good effort, but doesn’t quite work either. The biggest sticking point right now is that cjb used a custom DHT implementation with some patches, and I’ve gotta integrate that somehow.

      I will be overjoyed if somebody else writes a working Nix flake. I’ve tried three times so far, and I bet it’ll take five total.

        I might give gittorrent a closer look as soon as some of my time frees up. packaging complex node stuff for Nix is always a bit of a pain, but it’s a pain I’m now very familiar with

        A method for registering friendly usernames on Bitcoin’s blockchain, so that a written username can be used to find a user instead of an ugly hex string.

        ugh I hate this part, but hopefully there’s a way to do something like what Mastodon and Lemmy do for external identity verification
