Today I fumbled thru the install of Rayfish and Yggdrasil. Both are awesome, but Rayfish was so much easier to install and use.
Have you tried these yet?
Here’s the Yggdrasil link:
https://yggdrasil-network.github.io/
Yggdrasil has Android, Windows, Linux, Apple installers.
Rayfish only works on desktop right now, but hopefully soon they will be able to get it on Android.
But rayfish is vibe coded. I’d not trust it.
Evidence?
Well aside from the obvious giveaways in the presentation format of the README.md, and .gitignore, the very first question of its FAQ is:
Yes. Heavily. Claude and GLM-5.2 wrote a lot of this repo.
Oooh. I can’t believe I missed that. Thanks!

It also says -
“So it’s all vibe-coded slop.”
The idea is over 4 years old: a trustless, decentralized network with no central entity that can censor who you connect with. I sketched it for years. What an LLM changed was the speed: the prototype came together in a day. The trigger was the release of iroh v1.
Make of that what you will.
