My wish is for something like this to be provided as a service. I want to be able to write a collaborative, multi-user web app without having to run any servers and without having any access to my users' data. The way desktop apps used to be, except I want my users to be able to share data with each other easily. I also would like my users to have flexibility to choose between data providers (or even run their own), so their data is never held hostage.
- ecto 14y agoHey, I'm one of the developers working on the project. The possibility of "Crypton as a Service" is something we've been thinking about since we started working on this. It's coming soon, but we've been busy getting the fundamentals out - watch for the client SDK which will hook up to a SpiderOak-hosted Crypton server. For a good (though hastily assembled) example of a client-side demo, check out https://github.com/SpiderOak/crypton/tree/master/client/examples/diary https://github.com/SpiderOak/crypton/tree/master/client/exam...
- infodroid 14y agoThis sounds just like the remoteStorage protocol It's a protocol for building web apps with pluggable remote data stores. http://remotestorage.io/ http://remotestorage.io/ More detail about this sort of "unhosted" architecture: https://unhosted.org/ https://unhosted.org/ But unlike Crypton, in remoteStorage you have to trust your storage provider because it can access all the app data.
