Just did a round and it's rather engaging. Great job! I'll definitely add it to my list of daily wordle-esque puzzles.

One suggestion I have is to not count internal anchor-links as jumps as all it is, is skipping scrolling through the page.

Additionally, just as I clicked on my target link, the whole website froze. I deeply apologize if I broke your work by clicking on a Mango.

I'll be honest, I can't stand running, I've never found it particularly enjoyable and even at marathon levels, every mile is tiring. I haven't run since completing my bucket list item this spring and have been swimming instead. To the people that enjoy the activity,good for them, but it just isn't for me.

this kind of concept is still experimental, p2p networks have been there for a long time but putting them on the browser like this is new. as of right now, limiting malicious content is not developed enough compared to the established http world. my first thought is maybe have an extension or a local application on the browser that detects bad content. there are things out there that can do the job, just a matter of connecting them to the browser.

This is really really awesome, but my first thought was Pied Piper (from the Silicon Valley tv show on HBO), and how this will have the user:service paradox.

For the service to be useful/good, it needs a lot of users, you can't get a lot of users without the service being useful/good, so it either slowly creeps up user counts over a very long period of time, or stagnants/dies off.

That aside, this kind of technology is what I want the future internet to be. Ran by people, on a distributed global network, not corporations, eating your data and nickel and diming you.

So -- essentially the plot of Silicon Valley (which is a good thing lol).

You got a star from me.

hybrid browser is a p2p web browser, it supports the bittorrent, ipfs, hypercore, tor and a couple of other networks.

you can browse just like a regular web browser but the added abilities are that you will be able to browse p2p websites/content. each piece of p2p data has links just like regular links except it will be p2p links. for example, a <img src="somehttplink">, can be <img src="somep2plink">.

think about a website you like. new users who visit that website, instead of them downloading the website data from a centralized server, they would download that data from you. you will get to actively help content that you like. just like torrenting.

The usage is huge. Means you can upload p2p websites. You can use p2p links on the browser so websites can load content from bittorrent, ipfs and the other networks. Imagine helping your favorite website by sharing that website with other users by giving them the data. This would involve no servers so no middlemen. People directly sharing data from their computer.
