It's lovely to see the polite and respectful back and forth in this comment thread where the Iroh folks are talking about deciding to fork. :)

I personally have been looking off and on at providing an "app relay" using it, where people can get an OSS, self-hostable (if desired), zero config way to remotely access their app/data on their network. This would be separate than a "network relay" (a la Tailscale), as this is done selectively as part of the application server and client, requires no knowledge or configuration as the user, and exposes a much smaller surface area.

I’m excited to have a weekend to just sit down and tinker with iroh, it’s been on my list for a while. I want to make an overlay network like nebula with it

I've been thinking about whether session identity could be separated entirely from transport, so that transport failure becomes a recoverable event rather than connection death.

Curious if anyone has seen practical systems that push this further than QUIC does.

Which got it's name from 'Not Coq'

Wouldn't that be n0q then?
