P2P proxy network for shared devtool access in Tanzania.
Tanzanian developers face unreliable internet connectivity with inconsistent speeds that disrupts access to cloud-based devtools like GitHub and AWS.
DevBridgeTZ creates a peer-to-peer mesh among users to cache and relay GitHub/AWS requests, reducing load on unstable connections by fetching via nearby peers with better uptime. The PWA handles discovery via Supabase and routes requests intelligently. It includes incentives for seeders via token rewards redeemable for Pro.
