Could you also add "Deploy Your Own Firebase"? Our project ( https://github.com/amark/gun ) gets 1M+ downloads a month and can be self-hosted easily with a 1-click deploy into production. Will try to make a P

Mastodon is FEDERATED, not decentralized. Federated systems, like email, have used these anti-spam techniques for a long time. Federated systems always evolve into an Oligarchy, like Gmail/Hotmail/Yahoo, etc. or like banks, JPMorg

Great resource! For those interested in creating something similar with NodeJS, but not having to write or manage any of the socket or socketio logic yourself, check out this 5min interactive tutorial of ours: https://gun.eco&#x2

Um, no, this is not impossible, us editor folks have been inserting 0-width space after the tag and selecting it for years. The team the size of Slack should/could have easily worked around that.

This is all moving to the browser itself. Or an extension, thereof. So it isn't a "server" that is running that a webapp talks to, instead, it is that the webapp talks to your "localhost" or similar (browser extensi

:D glad to know some HNers are fan! Yeah, absolutely. Tho DAT is one of the better ones. Do you need mutability? That is probably the biggest differentiator. Either way, you should come chat about it on http://chat.gun.eco/

I like the phrasing "Mergeable Data" over CRDTs (I've been on the CRDT bandwagon for years now, with https://github.com/amark/gun ). Probably worth it as an industry of we shift language to "Mergeab

P2P & CRDTs are definitely production ready already. HackerNoon & Internet Archive are using (mine) https://github.com/amark/gun already. Local-first is very much the mantra of the whole dWeb community. I'

The Internet Archive (parent of the Wayback Machine, Top 300 website in the world) is doing a lot to help re-decentralize the web. Check out this post for more info: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17685682

Huh, this would be pretty cool. BrowserFS seems to even have Dropbox etc. backends, and GUN already has a NodeJS `fs` adapter, so could theoretical could seamlessly swap BrowserFS in for fs and get GUN backed up to Dropbox!!!

Yes please. I use a distributed testing tool to simulate any setup or edge cases we find, so we can fix it. So this would be useful to replicate. Also, a big fix was released early October.

I wish my sockpuppets had 6K+ karma :O These people aren't me. (Thanks to them for kind comments, tho!) I have a couple throw away HN accounts but I do not use them to talk about gun.

Author here. GUN is running in production with 8M monthly users. On large sites like HackerNoon and with Internet Archive. What makes you say it is unstable? If there is anything, please report it and we'll get it fixed. Edit: Re grand
