    Would a federated discovery frontend work? Peertube’s back end of the service would probably work great as a starting point since it uses torrents to ease up on traffic for individual servers

      just use magnet:// links, and optionally ZeroNet if you really require html site.

      Gnutella2, e2dk:// had network wide plain text search function.

      unfortunately WebTorrent is not feasible due inability of web browsers to participate in current DHT network.

      Find freedom by abandoning https web. In real p2p there is no distinction between fronend or backend, all peer equal.
