🌟 Make stellar examples for libp2p fun! 🌟

[daviddias]

With #94, it is now the perfect opportunity to improve libp2p examples.

We need:

• Make every current example create their own bundle (MVP bundle)
• Create examples for:
  • Using multiple transports to dial and listen
  • Protocol and Stream Muxing
  • Encrypted Communications
  • PubSub on libp2p
  • Discovery mechanisms
  • PeerRouting and ContentRouting
  • Does it work in the browser? woot
  • Circuit Relay https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs/tree/master/examples/circuit-relaying
  • NAT Traversal
  • Building a chat application
  • Build a whiteboard application -- https://github.com/ipfs-shipyard/p2p-flipchart

I'm assigning myself for this, but help is also welcome :) It requires a good amount of work and review to create powerful examples.

Will get around this during the week, no later than next weekend.

As a reference, @whyrusleeping also created a thread on discuss.ipfs.io for collecting this: https://discuss.ipfs.io/t/call-for-libp2p-demos/677/1

I think it'll be really good to have the same examples for both go-libp2p as js-libp2p, so we could write language-independent documentation for libp2p. Bonus points if the examples also work js <> go

We should also flesh out the examples a bit more, "PubSub on libp2p" is a good but broad topic and it'll be more helpful and easier to contribute if we could have some minimal description like "A small chat application that uses pubsub on libp2p to send messages to different channels"

Thanks @victorbjelkholm
