Thoughts on Keet?
Discussion
Keet is very useful for video calls. Cool project. It is P2P, so no servers, which has three main implications:
1) increased censorship resistance
2) you expose your IP address to the person you are communicating with if you do not use a VPN
3) does not work great on mobile unless one of the people in the chat is also running Keet on their computer
Keet feels undervalued at the moment.
Hadn't considered your second point. I enjoy the desktop version for video chat but haven't had a chance to test mobile yet. Thanks for the feedback!
Keet isn't open source, right?
OK should have been open sourced already last December. Until now there is no source code available.
Furthermore the app is opening lots of request to some server, which looks wrong to me if it shall be just about a peer to peer communication app.
Not sure if one should trust such a project to handle our Bitcoins or Lightnings.
Any way to get mobile keet working like a walkie talkie?
Recently in New Zealand a cyclone left large parts of the country without power for days, lots of people had a cell phone with battery but no coverage, could get briar to send by bluetooth and WiFi if connected to a WiFi network, but couldn't get it working WiFi phone to phone.
Anyway to make a WiFi mesh network with keet?
