So if I understand right:
Hyperdrive (formerly Dat) is the "p2p platform" and beaker a client which uses hyperdrive to publish and browse archives and websites?
If I want to build an app using this, when should I choose hypercore and when should I choose hyperdrive?
- pfraze 6y agoCurrently Beaker only has Web APIs for Hyperdrive, but we're going to add Hypercore APIs Hypercore is lower-level - it's basically an append-only log. There have been some projects that use it directly such as Kappa-core [1]. You might want it particularly for CRDT work, but generally I think you can use the filesystem to do pretty much anything, and that has the benefit of a regular data-form that can be explored using the terminal and files explorer and browser and etc. [1] https://github.com/kappa-db/kappa-core https://github.com/kappa-db/kappa-core
