peerd runs the entire agent loop client-side in your browser.
Story
This Chrome/Firefox extension drives your existing authenticated tabs, spins up sandboxed JS notebooks and WASM Linux VMs, and (in preview) shares builds peer-to-peer over WebRTC, with no backend, no telemetry, and bring-your-own-key for Anthropic, OpenRouter, or Ollama (GitHub). Created June 22, at v0.1.4 by June 24, front page of HN fast. The security model is the interesting part: the key-holding agent stays away from raw page content, handing reads to a disposable, network-less runner. Early, but the no-backend architecture is a genuinely different bet.
