Ok, stupid question, but what applications is something like tailscale/iroh used for? I've never worked with this type of tech so curious where it is valuable.
Say you want to build a Peer to Peer application; chat, file sharing, music sync or whatever, then something needs to be built to communicate between this application running in two different places. While you still need to build the actual protocol yourself ("Users can send messages" etc), how the two instances are connected is handled by Iroh mostly.
Not a stupid question - I was wondering about the same thing, and this gave me easy access to the answer because someone replied to your comment. Thank you for asking :)
