substack: ya, we usually capitalize Dat but it doesn't really matter

substack: cool, looking forward to reading

mafintosh: is there a plan to have hypercore use the file system instead of level in the future?

nevermind, https://github.com/mafintosh/hypercore#storage-api covers this use case

substack: it will store metadata in a level even if you use the storage api. there is a plan to make that be pluggable as well

it's fine if metadata is in level for this use case

great

the concern is that if the software breaks or is lost then people should be able to find the files on the file system

storage api is pretty straight forward as well

substack: yea! also a file sharing system should write to regular files imo
