i was actually really surprised that this did not exist when i went to search github for the first time. you would think that an open source giant would have this ability but i guess there is a ton of computational load to achieve search in
general. i’ll probably get downvoted for bringing up a whacky idea, but imagine having some type of referencing system that is done through multi node p2p, so searching certain systems using shared resources. i guess the major problem would be if devs would actually spare some of their personal computational resources to help the community find things and not rely on special interest groups. i get it, i am old school as well. i started out on pascal and BASIC. but still think using creative solutions is fun. but you know, napster was cool back in the day prior to their lawsuits. and p2p was starting to pick up speed
- throwamon 5y agoThere was a recent post on search engines where I believe a P2P solution was mentioned (but maybe it was on some related post within a few days of this one): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29417061 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29417061
