We have built well over 2/3 of the #Veilid developer book. Not terrible, considering the product we are writing about isn't completely done yet either!!
Windows devs, simple instructions for dev setup of Veilid on Windows here: https://veilid.gitlab.io/developer-book/apps/flutter-example/windows.html
Comments welcome. I'll add the VSCode instructions tomorrow. Almost done.
Bonus, we use VeilidChat as the starter project, so you can send from your laptop!
#distrans will be changing its name to #stigmerge. This pull request explains more about why.
https://github.com/cmars/stigmerge/pull/238
You'll already see this change in latest main. Crates have been published but it's the same latest v0.3.19 otherwise.
0.4.0 is in development and will support trackers and simultaneous upload/download.
@arstechnica I think we need to move #great78project over to #reticulum or #Veilid
Windows devs: the getting started page is in final draft. Should be pushed soonish.
Good morning, fellow nerds. Working on some fun stuff. Not sure how practical, but fun nonetheless. Seeing if I can build an http server that only listens over #veilid. Not sure if that's possible, but I guess we'll find out. But first, coffee.
Ok, I'll play. New distrans seed:
distrans fetch VLD0:NXR22kZljnKFcvr0D56_BZjiWgsNG90S8NPwi7uKPmM
Need to install distrans? https://github.com/cmars/distrans
@beardedtechguy Hopefully by then #veilid will be ready, and those who care will be able to take care of it themselves.
@TheGibson Hey thanks for the shout!
Exciting times for #veilid and #distrans... veilid-core 0.4.3 just dropped with stable DHT support, which I'm researching as a possible primitive for content-addressable magnet links.

@VeilidNetwork Has Arrived!
The Internet was supposed to be a place of freedom and connection — not a marketplace for your personal data. Veilid is here to change that.
In a world where privacy feels like a luxury, Veilid brings hope. It’s a platform built to empower everyone with private, distributed applications that don’t trade your information for profit.
What makes Veilid different?
True privacy: No tracking. No data collection.
No hidden agendas: Built with passion, not profit.
An official CULT OF THE DEAD COW projekt.
Veilid isn’t just technology — it’s a movement to take back control of how we connect online. No compromises, no surveillance. Just freedom.

Awwrite here we go! Trying to build #VeilidChat on Windows in VScode! #veilid
Did the whole update / upgrade thing to my #Veilid server (It's running Ubuntu in Azure). How do people get years of uptime on servers these days? I have to reboot TWICE!!
(Sorry, programmer not sysop remember).
In case anyone missed it, another monstrously useful #veilid app was released in alpha.
