AllPeers Screenshots
We’ve been working incredibly hard on AllPeers 2.0, and over the past couple of weeks it’s really started to take form. Like Ernest and Julio Gallo, we will sell (well, give away) no revolutionary browser extension before its time, so we’re planning an extensive internal testing phase and private beta before we go live. In the meantime, we’ve got a new website online sporting our suitably bombastic new tagline: “The best thing to happen to Firefox… since Firefox.” Of course, hubris ain’t always bad, and it’s my fervent hope that this assertion will be borne out over the weeks, months and years to come.
We’ve also posted the first screenshots of the new Firefox-based AllPeers, and they’re stunning. You can see them all here with some marketing yada yada, but if you prefer a slightly more technical angle, I’ll say a few words about each one here as well (click on thumbnail to enlarge):
The heart of AllPeers is the Navigator, a sidebar that provides rapid access to all the information managed by AllPeers. Since AllPeers is by nature an extensible platform, the Navigator needs to be extensible as well. That’s why you see the buttons at the bottom for changing the view (”My Peers” and “My Media”). In this case, we’re looking at the “My Peers” view, where I can see all my contacts directly in the web browser, along with presence information so you can see who’s online. This view is currently used for sharing media files, and in the future we’ll be adding a presence API so that it can be hooked into other presence-aware software like instant messaging and VOIP clients.
Here’s a media view. In this case, we’re looking at files that I’ve imported into the AllPeers database. Or, more precisely, I’ve imported metadata about these files (including thumbnails). I can browse these media files in Firefox alongside standard web content. We’re planning many features to make the integration between local and web content even more smooth, including support for importing anything from a webpage into your local datastore using drag-and-drop.
When I want to share one or more of my local media files, I just pop open the Share taskpanel, which is a form that appears on the righthand side of the browser. (We hate dialog boxes so all our forms use the taskpanel approach.). Just click on the groups or individual users you want to share with and off you go. They will be alerted directly in their browser that you have new photos, videos, podcasts or whatever for them to download at their leisure.
I should also mention that AllPeers includes a complete BitTorrent client that you can use inside Firefox. We’ll be posting more information about this (and screenshots) at a later date.

Matthew published preview screenshots of their AllPeers. I like this version was moved over to Firefox. And I think this way of Firefox integration is much better than for example Flock’s one. I’m expecting integration with Flickr, delicious, blogs a…

Comment by Talism — 12/29/2005 @ 2:32 pm
I think it’s a great idea and instead of thinking about media files I can imagine a great business use as well. This is e.g. in context where teams from different ocmpanies work together on a project and have to share some files (spreadsheets, reports, source code, you name it). Is that a proper assumption that this should work with AllPeers?
I was also delighted to see your intention for integration with VoIP applications. I would of course vote for Skype in the first phase please.
Last but not least a note to the guy who wants to talk to his lawyers: Hey man, calm down. I’m not a pirate at all. I would even pay for such a solution. And I would only share files in a controlled environment with people I know and I would never break any law by doing this. Can’t you see the benefit?

Comment by Tim — 1/2/2006 @ 3:57 pm
Agreed… seems like a nice extension, but where’s the revenue? No ad’s? No subscriptions? Im lost.
Even assuming you do create some foolproof way to monetize the service - how do you protect that revenue stream? All youve got so far is an opensource extension for an opensource browser - a browser with a very small minority of the market. Whats to stop people from making 1000 similar extensions/services? What about someone who decides to make the same extension in IE and get 90% more users, simply because of how ubiquitous IE is?
