(martinheidegger) joehand: Added soyuka & dkastl as team mates on dat-desktop

(martinheidegger) So, there is the NodeFest in November and I would really like to meet the people here, so I am sharing this CFP https://twitter.com/yosuke_furukawa/status/1003...

(martinheidegger) I am a volunteer at NodeFest)

mafintosh: does the "fix all the things" commit in hyperdrive-hyperdb fix the file storage stuff?

(RangerMauve) So, once hyperdb support comes for hyperdrive, and there's something figured out for differentiating between hyperdb and old hyperdrive instances, would it be possible to have a utility to "convert" a dat that you own to use hyperdb?

jhand: yuh :)

yay, thanks

will try it out in dat-next

jhand: still bugs for sure! let me know tho

(RangerMauve) I assume that when a two peers using different protocols meet, they'll just ignore each other. So that means you can have the same key used for two dats at the same time.

jhand and i will be at mozfest this year - the cfp just went out - propose a session and we'll c u there? https://mozillafestival.org/proposals

what would y'all call a p2p version of github?

(DennisSchwartz) How about GitGrid?

(DennisSchwartz) Or whatever the opposite of a hub is I guess? ;)

(RangerMauve) I like it

(RangerMauve) Reading this to get a better grasp on what's needed for an implementation. https://codewords.recurse.com/issues/two/git-fr...

i just got push,pull,clone working for a git hyperdb on localhost: https://github.com/noffle/hyperdb-git-repo

still need to test more & add p2p discovery

haha nice

decentgit

jhand: ooh nice

noffle, did microsoft make any offers yet?

Reading the git wikipedia page: "As a distributed revision control system it is aimed at speed, data integrity, and support for distributed, non-linear workflows." - lucky for us!

millette: on buying github? yeah, I think it's a done dela

deal*

on hyperdb-git-repo I meant ;-)

ah

(RangerMauve) noffle: Have you considered basing it on the DatArchive API from beaker so it can work in the browser?

RangerMauve: I don't know much about how that works tbh. would that prevent it from working on cli apps?

having web + cli + beaker support together would be great

but I don't want to get locked into beaker only

(RangerMauve) middle: You can use node-dat-archive for node support and I could use it with Dat-polyfill to make it work in browsers

(RangerMauve) https://github.com/beakerbrowser/node-dat-archive

(RangerMauve) (non beaker browsers)

(RangerMauve) It's basically a wrapper for hyperdrive.

RangerMauve: is hyperdrive using hyperdb now?

does DatArchive have multiwriter and hyperdb's auth mechanism?

(RangerMauve) Not sure. Also the DatArchive API doesn't support multiwriter yet

ah

(RangerMauve) I guess that's be a deal breaker then. 😅

I know hyperdb the best right now, so I think I'll hack on that. not opposed to using datarchive though once it's ready!

luckily the two aren't mutually exclusive projects

(RangerMauve) The approach I was planning was going to be to use hyperdrive like an FS to store all the git refs and stuff, and have remotes be dat archives that are treated like folders.

(RangerMauve) I wouldn't really need multiwriter for that, and once it does come out I could use it for collaborating on a single dat or something

(RangerMauve) Gonna read your source for inspiration 🙏

RangerMauve: that's more or less what I'm doing on hyperdb: treating it like an fs store for git objects

but all in the git/ prefix

so you can extend on issues and prs into their own hyperdb prefixes too

or other crazy stuff like project forums

completely open structure
