How does the mesh (zero-server) work under-the-hood? What are some example of applications you see being possible with this library? Your site also mentions either using a central server or not having a server. The first idea that comes to mind (perhaps because of your chat example on the homepage) is a decentralised P2P messaging app - something like Messenger or WhatsApp but is completely free from central servers.
- theanzelm 2y agoThe underlying protocol is peer-to-peer sync, so the mesh is really just a bunch of geographically distributed servers that sync between each other as needed and act as "one giant syncing & persistence peer" for your app - mostly so you can sync stuff between devices even if they're not online at the same time, and to use it like cloud storage (I like to call it "S3 for collaborative data")
