#dat

pfrazee: I'm thinking that instead of using service workers in beaker, I should use the dat API directly. So then I just need to re-implement the dat API in other browsers using service workers. I can setup servers that listen on websockets and give my https sites the ability to serve DATs through them?

creationix: yeah, I was talking about that with jondashkyle yesterday

because all I need it the ability to write a file in the browser and then read it back in the browser (and sync it with other machines)

jhand: like all selections basically

makes sense

creationix: I've been thinking about a dat-rpc interface in general, and that could be used over websockets

mafintosh: right

jhand: i don't think there is a public api for that, but usecase makes sense and it should be easy

jhand: so open an issue or pr for it

pfrazee: cool! if you do that then we can make it so you can send messages via chat.datproject.org

might be as easy to making ._selections -> .selections

jhand: yeah totally

pfrazee: any notes on this. I might just prototype it

mafintosh: ya I'll take a look

creationix: no notes, but the interface I'll want to match will be https://github.com/beakerbrowser/node-dat-archive

ahh yes, I saw that

so who owns the dat? The https site or the server?

I could see use cases for both

yeah I think you need boh

both

(but if the server owns the dat, it needs auth on the rpc)

yeah it does

the 2 usecases I have are: 1) fallback for old browsers, and 2) collaboration without using multiwriter

which my hardware could easily do (assuming the browser can reach it)

jondashkyle: hey try uploading to the lily account again on hashbase

pfrazee: that's on my her machine, so will try syncing this eve!

jondashkyle: ok cool

pfrazee: looks like it fixed it for IA though! https://informational-affairs-jkm.hashbase.io/

jondashkyle: ok cool

mafintosh jhand: sorry, don't know it; it's https://github.com/hughsk/disc for frontend tho

guess you could use it for Node code too, as it only resolves deps - no need to actually use the browserify bundle

mafintosh: fixed a lil nit in ansi-diff-stream :D https://github.com/mafintosh/ansi-diff-stream/p...

yoshuawuyts: i'm feeling lazy. mind removing 0.10/0.12 from travis in that pr so it doesn't fail?

mafintosh: on it

\o/

yoshuawuyts: reminds of this gist i wrote the other day, https://gist.github.com/mafintosh/59007a69bddeb...

yoshuawuyts: for doing interactive inputs with ansi diff stream

need to put that in a module

mafintosh: ohhh, nice

mafintosh: might actually just use that for my module :D

yoshuawuyts: hmm, i think your pr broke something

running the example it messing up things

mafintosh: oh no, what broke?

yoshuawuyts: try running example.js in the repo

isn't this what it's supposed to look like?

yoshuawuyts: no see the first line is moving up

and the random data one is duplicated

try reverting your fix and you'll see the correct output

mafintosh: same output :/

yoshuawuyts: thats different that the first image

yoshuawuyts: see the line above "random data" in the first one

ah!

yoshuawuyts: my guess is that the differ assumes every line to contain a newline

and there moved the cursor up too far

yoshuawuyts: cool :)

i like the fix tho, so would be cool to fix that bug

:D

mafintosh: oh, do you mind if I s/Buffer()/Buffer.from()/ - standard is filling half my screen with warnings haha

~~ scope creep ~~

npm test

uses old standard

muhahaha

lmao

yoshuawuyts: but you can change it if you want, once you fix the bug

#motivation

lmao

yeah, was about to say: been at it for 30 mins now - kinda feeling it might not be worth it haha

yoshuawuyts: make an issue for it

yoshuawuyts: then i'll revert and take a stab at it at some point :)

mafintosh: :D

mafintosh: https://github.com/mafintosh/ansi-diff-stream/i...

sorry I couldn't get it to work

haha, no worries

i think it might be non trivial in my code base honestly

and its hard to test

yoshuawuyts: need to turn my gist into a module tho

like prompt-live or something

mafintosh: would be neat

^ WIP screenshot from new bankai CLI I'm building

want to have live keys to navigate between the different files, and drop down for more details

prompt-live would be neat for that :D

oh perfect

i need to figure out if you can draw the cursor yourself somehow

i guess you can use ansi to move it

yoshuawuyts: that's hot

mafintosh: yeah that'd be cool C:

pfrazee: :D yay, glad you like it - collaborating with louisc and shibacomputer

nice

jhand: ok selective-sync pr updated with your suggestions, and now it works with pull too. i added a little 'warnings' ui that persists even after exiting. wondering what you think

karissa: awesome!! i'll check it out

jhand: i think the only thing now is being able to tell the user when it's done syncing.

karissa: right. opened issue for us to start tracking that https://github.com/datproject/dat-node/issues/166

(scriptjs) @karissa Good work on this. It’s going to be great to have.

scriptjs thanks!

jhand: i am gonna squash

(scriptjs) Has anyone compiled a 32bit node for android?

@scriptjs no but it shouldn't be hard

If you have a 32 bit phone or can figure out how to cross compile

yoshuawuyts: nice! 😍

(scriptjs) @mafintosh Yup. I saw the write up. Will try this later tonight.

yoshuawuyts: are you all cowering in Berlin?

bret: everybody's moving here :D

mafintosh: I keep getting empty responses from http://node-modules.com/search?q=querystring when I'm logged in
