I read the readme and I don't quite understand the relationship between malai and kulfi, or what the "total cost" (what I need to know, what I need to install) of the stack is here.
Kulfi is the official name of the project, and the name of the "peer to peer internet" "id52/identity based internet", so kulfi net.
Kulfi App is going to be a browser like Google Chrome, available on various app stores, and it will speak both http over tcp and http over kulfi. Kulfi app acts like client (but is also a server, so on your iPhone tomorrow you can install Kulfi, which will let you access any http over kulfi site, and also will run a web server which is exposed over kulfi net for others to access, so my Android phone's Kulfi browser can connect with the your iPhones Kulfi's web server, with no intermediary [1]).
malai is ready now, and it is a Swiss army knife toolkit for working with kulfi net. Currently malai can expose a HTTP or TCP service over kulfi net.
Malai also has a "http bridge" feature, which bridges any malai exposed http over kulfi service with the http over tcp, so people can use regular browsers to access malai exposed HTTP services.
We are built on top of https://www.iroh.computer/blog/iroh-dns, and iroh uses the public key as the node identifier. Unfortunately the iroh id is 64 char long, which can not be used in subdomains, subdomains have a char limit of 63, so we are using dnssec base32[1], which comes to 52 chars, and we use that 52 char string as the primary identifier (instead of IP:port, which is used the "old school net" (tongue firmly in cheek), and we call it id52.
