Sneakerweb: A peer-to-peer protocol for offline web publishing via physical media

By

6h ago· 1 min readen

Summary

The sneakerweb is a peer-to-peer protocol for decentralized web publishing that bypasses traditional DNS servers, domain registrars, and web hosts. Websites are stored directly on user devices and transferred between them via physical storage media (USB drives, SD cards, etc.) using .snk files. Users can browse collected sites offline in a standard web browser and share them physically. The project includes a CLI tool for browsing and maintaining a local collection of "sneakerwebsites."

The sneakerweb is a peer-to-peer protocol for web publishing without permission: there are no DNS servers, domain registrars, or web hosts.
Websites are stored directly on user devices, and transferred between them through the ultimate fallback infrastructure: physical storage media.
Your collected sites can be viewed offline, in the same web browser you normally use, and then shared with others via .snk files.
