Experimental systems for experimental networks. Introducing UNC
Introducing UNC
UNC is a small suite of peer-to-peer tools for strange networks.
The first major piece is a file-sharing system built on Reticulum. It uses hubs for catalog search, but direct peer-to-peer transfer for the actual file exchange.
That distinction matters.
The hub helps users find things. It does not sit in the middle of every transfer. Files are content-addressed, transfers are verified, and hubs can sync catalog state with each other.
The larger idea is a suite:
- file sharing
- chat
- hub federation
- sync tools
- documentation
- experiments for constrained networks
UNC is early, rough, and changing quickly.
But the shape is there: practical tools for local-first, resilient, peer-to-peer networks.
