I built a decentralized internet in Rust — P2P chat, web browsing, and a DNS replacement that can't be seized

The internet is broken! So We are building a new one. The internet became what it is because the wrong people got to build the business model on top of it. The technology was always neutral — HTTP, TCP/IP, email. But the companies that built on top discovered that surveillance and addiction were more profitable than utility and privacy. So we built TIWD — Trustless Internet With a Difference. What is it? TIWD is a peer-to-peer network where every user is a node and every node is a server. When you run a TIWD application, your device becomes part of the infrastructure. You route messages for others, store pieces of the network's directory, and participate in governance. There are no servers to seize. No domains to take down. No app store to be removed from. No corporation that can read your messages. What works right now This isn't a whitepaper-only project. We have working code and real users: Encrypted P2P chat — a desktop app where users are chatting peer-to-peer right now across the
