Very exciting! Although I have a stupid question... Does this only work for static websites? I work on a P2P database (Open Source Firebase, https://github.com/amark/gun https://github.com/amark/gun ) but wouldn't Beaker cause web apps (not static sites) to break, even if they are using a P2P browser based DB? I'd be interested in working together to make sure these things go hand in hand (getting a WebRTC connection to Beaker, etc.), let me know.
- pfraze 10y agoYeah, Dat only transfers static bundles of files. Think of them as SPAs that are disconnected from a host. You can have them connect out to Web services, or use APIs built into the browser.
- Sephr 10y agoKeep tuned for Peerweb, which is a full web stack p2p platform that my company is working on. Peerweb is able to handle fully dynamic sites (of course backend stuff still needs to reach your own server) and offer rich controls for optimally distributing popular-resource pools. Unlike Beaker, our resource updating protocol is push-based (with active preload bundling analytics) and doesn't use polling, so we have much less client-side overhead. It also doesn't require a new browser, just a simple DNS change.
