Nyxt

Browser integration of federated, distributed platforms

Nyxt is a new type of web browser designed to empower users to find and filter information on the Internet. The information available to browsers is limited by the protocols they understand; the languages they speak. Most browsers only speak HTTP(S), a protocol designed for client/server interactions.

In its latest generation, Nyxt plans to open up access to an Internet beyond HTTP, a larger, more decentralized Internet. The new versions of Nyxt will feature support for XMPP, ActivityPub, and IPFS. Together, these decentralized technologies will power much of the next generation of Internet technologies, and Nyxt will speak their language!
