Excellent I look forward to it, I like Iroh objective of keeping it's footprint small enough to run on low powered devices. IPFS in my experience is very heavy.

If my understanding is right, content discovery can't happen on the existing mainline DHT which is a shame. Maybe once you have enough traction you can propose a standards change? DHT mainline today is amazing because of its network size.

There is this https://github.com/bittorrent/bittorrent.org/pull/174

We would love this to gain more traction so we can use mainline also for content discovery. But we have to be realistic: mainline moves slowly, and for good reasons.
