Some time ago LBRY seemed like a very good idea when it comes to trying to provide genuine unencroachable Freedom Of Speech to people. It was, on paper, better that Tor, since it was searchable and built with discoverability in mind. But it failed non-the less for various reasons, some of which I talked about already.

When there was still hype about it I decided that I need to fix one of the most glaring problems with it. It had one desktop application and it was developed on top of Electron, which is not ideal for many reasons. I decided to build 3 programs:

- LBRY for terminal;
- LBRY on top of GTK;
- and LBRY in pure HTML5 without javascript.

The project was called "FastLBRY" and I made the following git repositories of software:

FastLBRY Terminal
FastLBRY GTK
FastLBRY HTML

The latter didn't go past the basic rendering of a text article published to LBRY, because there was a separate project ( now also discontinued ) which was trying to do the same thing, a basic HTML5 implementation of LBRY. It was called Librarian.

FastLBRY Terminal was forked ( a bit before I started developing the GTK version ) by MorsMortium and was transformed into a competing GTK LBRY client. This one was simply called LBRY-GTK. It was subsequently re-written into C and then with the death of the protocol development pretty much stopped.

There was another LBRY client that I may have inspired, this one a Qt implementation called Lyberry.

Happy Hacking!

Once upon the time there was a group of molecules that was oppressed. And there was another group of molecules next to this one that was also oppressed. Both of them had long established traditions of staying in the group and behaving a certain way. But the oppressed molecules decided to riot. Those on the edge with the other group started mixing together and creating interesting patterns never before seen. Molecules on the far end were confused about all of the movement. Suddenly one or two molecules from the other group traveled to those far regions and were not very welcome by the molecules there. But the mixing continued and patterns became more and more complex, until one time the entire thing was mixed as well as it could be and all molecules were equally spread around.
