I recently stumbled upon Keet, which is a peer to peer messaging app with video calls and file sharing.

This app has a lot going for it:

• The user experience is really good
• Free and open source
• Privacy friendly (no datacentre, server or middleman between you and the people you are talking to)
• Better quality since there’s no throttling of traffic
• No file size limit

I’m baffled that this app seems like a well kept secret, so I just wanted to share it with you guys.

To me, peer to peer technology seems really interesting because it addresses the root cause of many of the harms that plagues the modern day internet: surveillance, platform silos, the market dominance of multi-national tech-conglomerates, energy usage of datacentres, etc.

What do you think? Can P2P be the solution to these problems?
