>"Holepunch is a technology platform that allows tech developers to create apps with no servers whatsoever. The company provides its peer-to-peer platform on an open source basis, allowing developers to contribute to the project, and to utilize the open source code at no server infrastructure cost.

Holepunch provides a collection of “small javascript modules” which can be combined to create unlimited P2P apps, from VPNs to communication tools like Keet.

This is the first I've seen of combining the ideas of a P2P framework and a client-side (which becomes "server-side" because a local P2P Client -- is also and/or can become a remote P2P Server) JavaScript execution engine...

Now that's... different! :-) (For lack of a better word!)

At least in a "that sounds novel!" kind of way...

It'll be interesting to see where all of this goes in the future!
