Applications over Freenet
Here you can share ideas about new applications that can run on top of Freenet. Before posting you should do a search on "Freenet" in Sourceforge to see if someone else hasn't already started a similiar project.
Useful Links:
The spec of the protocol (FCP) which applications use to interact with Freenet - and all the other Developer documentation.
Lookout PX
Lookout PX is a modular, extendable Freenet client for Windows written in C++. Plug-ins are loaded dynamically and may extend virtually every aspect of Lookout. Currently under development is a transport-independent messaging subsystem, such that any messaging system (TOF, FMB, etc.) can be implemented for Lookout with a standard interface.
Developers familiar with MFC, Win32 programming, or Freenet in general are wanted. Anyone is welcome to contact delta407@invisiblenet.net to get more information about the project.
As of yet, there is no public release of Lookout, but a roadmap is on the table and a release -- a good release -- is approaching. Check http://www.lookoutpx.net/ for updates. (Plus, it is safe to expect there some kind of announcement on the freenet-tech list, in addition to informing C of E and a few others.)
Not Really Anonymous Filesharing (NRAF) You must be running Freenet for this link to work
This is a proposal for a hybrid filesharing system. NRAF will use Freenet as a backbone for searching and listing shares, but the shared items will not be inserted. Transfers between users will be direct, and the users will not be anonymous.
Why would anyone want such thing?
- Thanks to intelligent routing of Freenet NRAF will be efficient for the users, becoming eventually more efficient than the other filesharing apps.
- It will also be efficient for Freenet, because the big mp3 and divx files will not be inserted.
- If NRAF gets popular more people will be running nodes. Freenet in every home?
- Other filesharing apps aren't anonymous either
- It could be implemented as a plugin/module to an existing (and poupular) gnutella client.
And last but not least, if NRAF becomes popular, instead of blaming Freenet for facilitating copyright infringment and spreading kiddie porn the authorities will blame NRAF.

"So I decided to start work on a native Win32 Frost client (that I have named Flame). It won't have file exchange support but just really basic
messaging functionality. I have been able to retrieve todays Freenet board Frost messages with it and read them in it (other boards should work too) but there are a few things to do (being able to write & insert messages and reply to messages in particular) but it is coming along nicely and I shall place it on the site once I have a more or less functional version up and running."
