p2p stuff looks like it's getting better

there's iroh, which looks like a nice balance of batteries included, and not a bunch of bloat

and pkarr, which does exactly one thing: maps ed25519 keys to DNS records via bittorrent's DHT

i think the big blocker for wider adoption is that browsers, ISPs, and airport wifi are all hostile to general purpose network protocols. you're mostly stuck with TCP, or the quagmire of WebRTC right now. (iroh works in the browser, but it has to go through a relay)
