PeerSky Mobile Browser: Bringing P2P Web Browsing to Phone
Mobile users currently lack native access to P2P protocols like hyper://, limiting the reach of decentralized web technologies. Although desktop browsers like PeerSky support these protocols, mobile platforms remain largely inaccessible without centralized gateways. To address this, this project proposes building PeerSky Mobile Browser, a React Native application for Android using Holepunch's bare-expo template, which provides the Bare runtime necessary for running Hypercore libraries that standard React Native cannot support. The project will implement native hyper:// protocol support with DHT-based peer discovery, basic HTTPS browsing via WebView, Holesail P2P tunneling through QR codes, and mDNS for offline discovery. So the core features will include secure key management using Android KeyStore, mobile-optimized UI with tab management, and comprehensive testing across Android versions. The deliverable will be a functional Android application that brings P2P browsing capabilities to mobile and extends the PeerSky ecosystem.
