Abstract
The Web is a natural platform for end-user development given the amount of services and contents that users may require to adapt, automate, etc. Transcodings, mashups, Web augmentation, and other techniques have emerged to allow end users to improve their Web experiences. In this context, the use of Web browser extensions is a very common strategy for these EUD environments. Sharing information about the same artifact among different users is still a challenge, since these artefacts are created to work standalone, or they are designed to centralize information in a back-end application in the cloud. This paper presents, Browser.ver, a novel P2P architecture for the creation of EUD environments in Web Browsers. Our aim is that it can be used for developing and deploying end-user tools that hosts services and applications for other users, without an intermediate server.
