this is a p2p website i made for two p2p web browsers
browsers are called agregore and hybrid(fork of agregore), these web browser supports bittorrent, ipfs, hypercore and others, the browsers uses electron
main feature of these browsers is that you can use p2p links directly on webpages, basically href attribute will have a p2p link instead of http, like href="bt://infohash/some/file.txt"
watch these videos and you will understand very quickly what this is and what can be done on it, a regular web browser, but it supports multiple different networks, hybrid even supports tor, i2p and other overlay networks

here are repos for the website

the website is like a general social posting site where you make posts
the website uses gundb and indexeddb for syncing and persistence
hyperdrive and ipfs for file storage
bittorrent for distribution(BEP 46) https://www.bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0046.html
it was surprisingly easy to make content for these browsers, for a developer nothing really changes, you will just make links with different protocols like "bt://infohash/some/file.txt" instead of "http://domain.com/some/file.txt"
