firestr

firestr is an open-source communication application for Linux. It lets people communicate with friends and family through a secure peer-to-peer connection. Its communication model connects users directly rather than describing interaction through a central service.

The software also supports creating and running peer-to-peer applications with the Lua programming language. This makes it relevant both to people seeking direct communication with personal contacts and to users who want to develop P2P applications in Lua. Its primary focus is combining communication with an environment for running these applications.

As a Linux application in the Communication category, firestr fits catalogs focused on open-source tools for networked interaction. MirrorNest mirrors the official Linux build directly on its own storage. The mirrored build is scanned for malware before it is published.
