#dat

it's working!

dunno why the key is showing up as not authorized though

a friend of mine just sent me this question: "hey, what's one article I can send to someone who has no idea what dat is, that explains everything you need to know?"

if you had to send one piece of writing about dat to someone who isn't a developer, what would you send?

Not quite ten or less: 'Dat is a way to turn large files into tweet-sized URLs.'

louisc: tried to do a bit of that on the docs homepage: https://docs.datproject.org but ya thats a good question

version that works: https://gist.github.com/substack/4a72219d79023d... <- caiogondim

substack: that's amazing! thanks for that

there is some issue where .authorized() is always false but it can write data to the database anyways

my use case is very similar to yours. auto-authorize users.

would be cool if createHistoryStream() had opts.live. maybe I will hack that in

then I wouldn't have to do that trick with 'append' events which probably adds a lot of junk to GC

substack: issues for all the missing stuff

as in, make 'em and I'll get them fixed

Assuming they are reasonable 😁

cool will do

I also started implementing it

being able to pass in a sequence to createHistoryStream() would also be good

then you could seek

(RangerMauve) What would it take to get dat to support WS for the default transport? Does discovery-swarm theoretically support WS for transports?

(RangerMauve) Where would I even submit an issue asking for this? Would datproject/discussions be good?

jhand: solid link. I've referred them to the "Introduction" and "Key Concepts" sections on that page

@RangerMauve, discovery-swarm would be a good place, since it'd go in there =)

@RangerMauve and ya you can use WS right now by passing that as the stream

e.g. https://github.com/joehand/hyperirc-web/blob/ma...

louisc: cool! it'd be nice to have a good landing page for that question though, with some diagrams!

(RangerMauve) @jhand Thanks! I was thinking more of persuading all of dat to migrate to use WS instead of TCP by default. Do you know offhand if advertizements on the DHT and MDNS include the protocol to be used or if it's just an IP/port combo?

Not sure, sorry

(RangerMauve) K, I'll do some digging. Thank you!

mafintosh: can you merge https://github.com/mafintosh/recursive-watch/pu... or https://github.com/mafintosh/recursive-watch/pu...

hey jhand would that fix passing it bad/nonexisting paths too?

laduke13: don't think so? is there an issue you can point me to? there are a few path bugs I've been looking at =)

I vaguely remember making #5 over there is all

ah right

laduke13: hmm seems like thats a separate issue

jhand: ya

mafintosh: been thinking more about encrypting hypercores as i work today. have you seen https://github.com/fsteff/hypercore-encrypted and/or do you have any thoughts on the topic already written down somewhere?

Hi

I have a question about dat protocol

How can I have a collaborative website with it?

Lets say I share a folder and I want some other people to be able to add files to that folder

guillaume42, allô, dat doesn't handle that directly yet, but next major version will have multi-writer support

(the next, or an upcoming)

awesome

thanks

have a look at https://github.com/mafintosh/hyperdb if you want a headstart :-)

ok
