> If all nodes are down the site is down stop exaggerating. First time I hear about Bob, but the README (https://github.com/kyokan/bob-extension) seems to mention that you can use your own `hsd` node in like the first section, or are you thinking about something else?

Bob Extension just added ability to resolve Handshake domain with webtorrent. Any Handshake TLDs can update its TXT record with a magnet link pointing to a folder that contains a index.html page - Bob Extension will download and show the content using webtorrent when users go to the TLDs (e.g. federalistpapers/) https://github.com/kyokan/bob-extension/pull/18

> From the point of Handshake authors, Zooko system uses blockchain resources, but does not help with main mission (make Handshake team super rich by taking over existing DNS system). Actually, I gave the idea to publius for this as he had mentioned. I'm myself excited by the no-censor DNS root system, but I'm passionate about the ownership of your own 'namespace' generically much more so than the DNS. That's why I made a pull request [1] to Bob Extension for example which later enabled publius (in his own words) to make applause [2]. I did also see what happened between publius and the admins of that discord, which is just another Handshake discord as there is no official Handshake discord, and I don't agree with what happened either to be fair. Political discussions can occur in much more mature ways on both ends of the spectrum. [1]

I was browsing Handshake repos on github and noticed a pull request that added sign/verify [1] on the Bob Extension [2] on Github. This piqued my interested, and of course, it was time to hack away again. The result is applause [3] which lets you post and applaud (sign) your and other people's messages. This website does not require a login or signup because it uses the decentralized Handshake [4] blockchain. It's open source on github [5] and mixes Web 2 and Web 3 together causing some interesting benefits. It supports drag and drop among other things! Hope you like it! MIT LICENSED! Do whatever you want with it!
