Today we want to spotlight Dartfrog, which began as a simple peer-to-peer messaging app built on Kinode, but is evolving into so much more. 

We want to discuss 1) how Dartfrog addresses challenges that are common to peer-to-peer app development – especially in regards to network efficiency and session management – and 2) what's in store for the app.

Dartfrog is really good. Definitely worth checking out to see the shape of things to come
