 problem with Keet is the front is still not Open Source after 3 years. I am grinding on this hard because i was an early beta tester. 

DHTs can also be a central point of failure but can't even see the deets of how Keet is implemented on the front, unless you want decompile all of that javascript. I don't know what they are hiding and why so long.

 pubky does NOT use any of Holepunch stack, none. And it is entirely open source. in fact it is 99% just HTTP

 Yes and Holepunch team didn't invent or maintain Mainline...they have an entire whole other DHT.

And we only use Mainline to map keys to web servers, then you proceed like you do after you find the IP address from DNS.

No p2p swarming, no Hypercores or even Torrent. Just http, simpler even than websocket and nostr events. If you know Fetch API you know pubky

 The fact that he said "BitTorrent style DHT" tells me he doesn't know what mainline is
