Hey all, just letting you know that the core technology inside of Dat/Beaker is alive and well inside Keet [1] (a P2P communications app) and Pear [2] (a platform for building P2P desktop/mobile apps). Keet is built on Pear.

Both projects are built by Holepunch [3], a company we formed a few years back to keep the peer-to-peer candle burning. It's always a challenge but never dull. We're working on tons of mad science [4] all the time, and we're hiring [5]!

(Disclaimer: I work at Holepunch)

Hi! Author here. Funny to see my term paper posted. A lot has happened in the space since then and I haven't kept up as well as I would have liked.

The beaker browser was so cool. Too bad that it never really rook off. Does anyone know if there are any similar projects to it?

The DAT project is sadly no more, but author Paul Frazee is now one of the lead developers at Bluesky.
