There are lots of others, but most either shut down, got turned into scams, or were always scams.

There was one chat app I remember, I think it was called firechat or something. They ended up removing all the P2P features from it and removed all references from their advertising.

Yggsrqsil network I2P Freenet [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B.A.T.M.A.N](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B.A.T.M.A.N

have great potential but not user friendly at all at current stage. Or is there any user friendly software that uses this I didn't find?

IPFS SSB /

Any guide on how to start using IPFS?

Manyver.se /

No longer in active development

PZP

Can't find anything on internet

Briar Project

great stuff already in the list

Tailscale

added to the list

Syncthing Localsend

I don't think they are p2p since they can only work in LAN

ooh nice to see B.A.T.M.A.N here! i had built a simple wrapper to setup mesh networks with batman. it's a bit old but still works if you have an OS with python, systemd and linux kernel.
