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!

It is abhorrent to be living in times where political structures poised into existence on ideas of Liberty advocate for removal of essential Freedoms. United States and Europe both have their form of "chat control" currently being debated. And country leaders see in this total mass-stalking nothing but a tool to fight some, scary sounding form of possible oppression. They've convinced the public that they are right, so much that when we are trying to come up with a reason of why what they are doing is wrong, we fail even to start the train of thought. Their justification appears to be solid. It appears that there is nothing to do, but to shut up, agree and do nothing about it. Today I am about to shutter their arguments once and for all.
