TIL: Iroh: peer-to-peer networking for app developers
I came across Iroh (via, via) today as it hit 1.0 and found it a really interesting solution to a problem I knew existed but had not thought a lot about. Judging from the comment sections, it seems pretty clear that lots of people are confused as to exactly what Iroh is. I don’t think their launch post does their product justice at all, and their tagline is “IP addresses break, dial keys instead” which sounds cool, but if you think about it for just a second, you’ll end up with lots of questions. The biggest one is: “so how is this different from a mesh VPN like Tailscale, ZeroTier, Netbird, etc.?” It’s only after reading a lot of developers’ comments on the threads that I feel I understand: Iroh is aimed at application developers who want to communicate P2P between machines running their app, while mesh networks are aimed at network admins who want to connect devices they own/manage together.
The road to iroh 1.0
It is done. After four years of work and various pivots we have released iroh 1.0.

Sorrel is an idea for device management in applications that use Iroh. Iroh facilitates direct connections between devices using key pairs for identity/addressing. Once a device knows the public key of another device, Iroh will reliably (magically) connect them. But the device first needs to know which device it wants to talk to.

The rise (and future fall) of Discord
I want to talk about Discord. Not about all the issues like privacy, accessibility, performance. No, the good things. The part where it completely revolutionized the internet. And how it will destroy it all.
