I think the more relevant link is https://www.scuttlebutt.nz/ https://www.scuttlebutt.nz/ which is more about the use of it and thinking behind it than just dumping you in the core docs... I find it good to know if i should care before i start dissecting the guts of an API.

What's the difference between scuttlebutt and scuttlebot? From the repo… > There are already several applications built on scuttlebot, one of the best ways to learn about secure-scuttlebutt is to poke around in these applications. I'm very confused.

  hey @atestu, i agree it's confusing. this page on scuttlebutt.nz should help: https://www.scuttlebutt.nz/modules.html#secure-scuttlebutt-vs-scuttlebutt-vs-scuttlebot-vs-sbot https://www.scuttlebutt.nz/modules.html#secure-scuttlebutt-v... feel free to ask if you have more questions. :3

  Scuttlebutt is the protocol. Scuttlebot is a nodejs library that has implemented the protocol. You can use the scuttlebot library to build peer to peer apps. I looked into it a while back, it seems like a cool technology. Happy to try and answer any questions.

I would say that is somewhat outdated as well. Take a look at https://ssbc.github.io https://ssbc.github.io it's much more detailed as to how it all works.

  hey @brad0, as far as i know, ssbc.github.io is the most out-of-date, at the time of being written by @pfraze it was superseded by scuttlebot.io which has all the same detail and more. scuttlebutt.nz is a more recent effort by me to write documentation not only about the technical details of _how_ but also more stories and quotes to capture the spirit of _why_. but having documentation scattered around is confusing, our intention is to consolidate these many sources into scuttlebutt.nz: https://www.scuttlebutt.nz/contributing.html#contributing-documentation https://www.scuttlebutt.nz/contributing.html#contributing-do....

    Oh sorry! I didn't realise. Scuttlebutt is definitely in need of a consolidation of information. Keep up the good work!
