Some background context that might be useful for other readers wondering what they're looking at:
1. One of the core contributors on this is an individual who has essentially been the driving force for P2P applications in JS-land (the "hyper" stack, like hyperswarm and hyperdrive). See: https://github.com/mafintosh https://github.com/mafintosh
See previous discussion on the "dat" protocol, built on top of the aforementioned (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22909998 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22909998).
2. To that end, the target userbase is something like an "It-Just-Works P2P Developer". You want a cross-platform solution that allows you to host networked applications on your device, in JS.
I'm not very knowledgeable about this domain. I built a small "dat" application years ago.
