Has anyone here used gun extensively? https://github.com/amark/gun https://github.com/amark/gun it seems to position itself as a competitor to firebase, and wouldn't have many of the issues mentioned in the OP
- lawrencewu 9y agoWow, this is the exact thing I've been thinking of writing, but so much better. I'm so glad this exists, brb trying it out right now
- marknadal 9y agoJust noticed this today, sorry for the delay. I'm the author, anything I can do to help out? Let me know!
- lawrencewu 9y agoHey -- nice job! I have a question: is there a way to use MongoDB in the backend?
- marknadal 9y agoYes! Somebody in the community just recently built this: https://github.com/sjones6/gun-mongo https://github.com/sjones6/gun-mongo https://github.com/sjones6/gun-mongo-key https://github.com/sjones6/gun-mongo-key Anything else?
- nagyf 9y agoLooks interesting, anyone has experience with it?
- nagyf 9y agoWell the code itself doesn't look interesting at all, it is ugly as hell. Lacks comments, poorly organized, full of ugly names. e.g.: from chain.js: // TODO: BUG! Handle plural chains by iterating over them. (obj_has(next, 'put')){ // potentially incorrect? if(u !== next.put){ // potentially incorrect? Maybe? A lot of comments like: // ugly hack for now.
- dsun180 9y agoLol. I opened a random src-file and started to wonder wtf this is. Source: https://github.com/amark/gun/blob/master/src/state.js https://github.com/amark/gun/blob/master/src/state.js
- marcus_holmes 9y agoI can't believe so many js devs have regressed to single-letter variable names. This has been a code smell for generations :(
