Why does the github mirror for libdweb have to be archived? Aren't issues raised on github the same as bus here if you use a templates on github?

Because code on github isn't actually a mirror, code in gecko is more of re-implementation inspired by code github & trying to keep two code bases in sync takes more time than it's worth. It is also that most issues raised can't be addressed in libdweb code base itself, it usually requires changes either in web extension code base or further down the stack in platform code base. Given that corresponding teams operate in bugzilla it's a lot more effective to report issues directly here as that it leaves me with more time to work on integrating libdweb as opposed to relaying issues back and forth.

For general discussions we still have an #dweb IRC channel

Does Libdweb support mobile yet?

There had being no effort put into it, however sammacbeth who is frequently on that IRC channel made a version of beaker compatible dat browser with libdweb & https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/reference-browser

Is the p2p protocol effort has been abandoned? I've been monitoring the work for some time now and got to know some of the people working on it were let go. Just curious as to what's the future of this project.
