They just updated the keet website. It loads fast and is good and all, but it makes me dizzy. Way too much animation.

It's the only tether product I actually use.

i still don't understand how this product works without a central server.

They use something called a dht which is what things like bittorrent use. The dht allows you to lookup the ip addresses of people you are talking to and from there you can connect and chat to them directly.

The main downside to this is that anyone that knows your pubkey knows your ip address, but otherwise there's no need for servers once a connection is established (assuming your ip doesn't change).

i see. i wonder how well it would work in a multi-user situation or video streaming, etc. Seems to good too be true but I'm open to the idea, love the concept of direct connections actually working!

yep direct connections were something we lost very early as the internet grew (we don't have enough ip addresses for every device so we have one per residence instead and it creates these problems that holepunch solves).

do you use keet and it performs well with sending docs, photos, streaming ?

I don't use keet. I downloaded it once long ago and gave it a spin but haven't touched it since

I've used it for chat rooms for my family. It works pretty well, but their notifications don't always work.

I've also used it for file transfer between devices. It works pretty good that way, although I haven't done really big files.
