I’ve been working on a new search engine system that’s fully peer-to-peer, with no trusted third party.
The goal is the index IPFS, a torrent-like file sharing system for all kinds of media
It’s written in Rust using libp2p. There is a daemon but it will eventually run in the browser with wasm
Exactly, making IPFS relevant as a web platform is one of my goals. I’m interested in IPFS because it removes a lot of barriers with the regular web like geo-blocking, scraping restrictions, server downtime, and most importantly the fact that it can be easily censored. I hope that moving IPFS could remove gatekeepers and their evil attempts to take control of the web (Amp for example). But IPFS will never be successful without a search engine that has the same principles
