The #ReflectionDeveloperLabs sessions are starting soon! It's a series of online events for GTK app developers to learn more about local-first, and give us feedback on what they need to add local-first sync to their apps 🪴🔃
First session: March 3, 15:00 CET, online
We'll give an introduction to the stack and present the WIP new p2panda node/client APIs and GObject bindings to get early feedback.

this was fun and informative. the #p2panda gang have some neat stuff in the pipeline and they very helpfully answered all my naive questions!
sounds like there will be more of these drop-in community hours in the future, if you're interested.
@adz is talking about the Walkaway stack!
just heard a really interesting talk about #p2panda by @tbernard and @adz on #FOSDEM2026, might be a good fit for Rnote 🚀
✨ We've just released p2panda version 0.5.0! ✨
The highlight is a completely new p2panda-net stack with local-first sync, confidential discovery, gossip, supervision and more.
We've been running these updates in the Reflection codebase for a couple of weeks now and are really happy with the stability and performance overall.
This year we're planning to make more frequent releases and communicate more clearly about what's on the roadmap.
Calling all GTK app developers!
As part of the Reflection project we want to lay the groundwork for an ecosystem of native GTK apps with local-first sync/collaboration features. To do this in the most effective way possible we're asking for your input!
Pears, birds and peer to peer
How does pears.com, p2panda and libp2p compare?
I found pears a couple of days ago, when a fellow hacker from POuL highlighted me https://keet.io, a peer to peer chat application. They promise
No middlemen, no metadata, no surveillance, just direct encrypted chats with people you trust.
Nice try dudes. Too bad Keet is proprietary softwar

Here's a recent and pretty approachable conference talk from the @p2panda folks.

#p2panda is a set of peer-to-peer libraries that we're using to power connections between nodes in the local resilience mesh that we hope to deploy across Merri-bek. It's been a bit of a journey, because we're using something that is not really standing still yet, but I think this talk conveys why we're taking this approach, and the potential it could unlock. In particular, early on they talk about all the ways in which P2Panda is designed for post internet transmission methods.
Meet us #39c3 at our little session on latest updates and general hang around p2panda!

Happy holidays everyone! We have a special gift for you: A first preview release of Reflection, our local-first collaborative note taking app 🥳🎁
It's on Flathub Beta for now because it's still early days, but if you're feeling adventurous you can grab it today and give it a spin :)
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub-beta https://flathub.org/beta-repo/flathub-beta.flatpakrepo
flatpak install flathub-beta cx.modal.Reflection

I have been looking at #p2panda for the last two or three days now and I am still not sure whether they cover everything I need.
I _really really_ hope they reply to my email on monday so we can talk and I can ask questions and stuff.
Since there's CCC and FOSDEM coming up, the next #BoilingTheOcean is happening in February!
The weekend of February 14-15th we'll be hacking as usual, but on the 13th we'll also have an evening of talks and discussions on identity in peer-to-peer systems, with @bumbleblue and @shibacomputer ✨
More details TBA :)
So it seems that I am going to throw away almost all of the code of my personal pet project and starting from scratch, because I just learned of p2panda, which solves 90% of the problems I would need to solve.
On one side that is super depressing (I have the feeling I worked for the garbage bin) and on the other side it is super exciting because I do not have to invent all these things - and the libraries in the p2panda project seem to be pretty good!
But first lets see whether these people are nice to work with and maybe they can provide guidance on what I need to tackle first. From what I see that would be a p2panda_net SyncProtocol implementation for a DAG data structure. But who knows, maybe that's around already somewhere?
@jowek @abekonge @douginamug OMG this looks amazing! So thrilled to see Peer2Panda being rolled out like this! <3

Our presentation from @openalt konference 2025 in Brno is now online! 🐼 🙌🏻
In this talk @adz and @glyph present an overview of the peer-to-peer problem space and describe how each of the p2panda modules are designed to provide Connectivity, Discovery, Sync, Encryption, Access Control, Transactions and more.
Thanks again to everyone who helped make the conference possible! We had a fantastic time.
The cutest intro slide at the #OpenAlt conference today so far, #p2panda 🐼

Hi friends, I'm one of several people working on LoRes Mesh, a #NeighbourhoodFirst hosting solution made up of multiple local web hosts connected #p2p in a mesh network in order to provide resilient local communications in this era of #ClimateEmergency
As part of trying to work in the open, I want to share our public roadmap at:
You'll see we're not yet at a production release, although we do have a working platform for installing apps (docker compose stacks) and P2P communication (using #p2panda).
Drop me a line if you can see a use for this, have views on the roadmap, would like to help build it, or fund it (it's non-profit).
OUT NOW! Our Part II Blog Post on building a convergent, offline-first Access Control CRDT!🍿🪩🧨
https://p2panda.org/2025/08/27/notes-convergent-access-control-crdt.html
Integrity, Provenance, Partial Ordering, Linearization, Concurrency, Conflicts, Consensus, Finality, Equivocation, Byzantine Fault Tolerance and Eventual Consistency, ..
This contains a lot of notes about what you might want to know when building a data type which should be collaborative, convergent and decentralized.
