It took me a minute to realize this, but HyperShell seems to be (or can be thought of as) a demo app for the (previously unknown to me) "hyper ecosystem"---Hyperswarm, Hypercore, Hyperdrive, etc: https://docs.holepunch.to/ . Perhaps an even tighter example than HyperShell is hyperbeam [1]: look at the usage section and API, and then note that it's all implemented in like 200 lines of code.

I'm no expert in this field, but this stuff looks like legos for cutting-edge P2P solutions. I think this is the coolest thing I've seen since Tailscale.

The main app they seem to have built with it (so far) is a p2p chat app: https://keet.io/

I’m curious to see what else they’ll build!
