If you're looking into making new pubs and stuff and you want to do something awesome development-wise... then you should perhaps take a peak at internet p2p

Staltz actually build some super cool stuff into the ManyVerse to have people connect directly to each other using hash-tables (which is bit of a mix between centralized and decentralized I guess), you can find his project Repo here: https://gitlab.com/staltz/manyverse
