Show HN: Oku – A Web browser with an emphasis on local-first data storage okubrowser.github.io

Hello HN,

My name is Emil. I'm a recent unemployed graduate, and I've been spending a lot of my time working on a passion project from my teenage years.

When I was younger, I wanted a place on the Web that I could call my own—not a social media page, but a proper site. I was interested in the IndieWeb community for a while, but I grew to believe a P2P alternative to the Web made more sense than having people host federated services.

My browser isn't production-ready, but I'm satisfied with the progress so far and would appreciate thoughts & feedback.

Thank you!

I am excited about Rust browsers, but I haven't gotten past the tagline.

Please please please pick something that doesn't fit the format "Make <thing> <adjective> again"!

Always happy to see a non-chrome browser. I love every point on the page. And having a p2p protocol for sharing files with friends is a great idea. And in a memory safe language. Starred!
