I should probably dedicate a #RasPi to trying this out. It is basically a rethinking of the #Beaker_Browser / #DAT / #Hyperdrive projects to make it easier for the sites & services offered to be useful ... and to stay up even when your browser closes.
What they really need to do is express why this exists and what kinds of things it is good for. Even just a subset ("It can do much more, but these are the things that are already implemented") would be good.
I mean, I'm aware of #Beaker-Browser, but what else does it do? To some degree, this conference should have started with the idea that at least some of the attendees have no real background with #Dat / Hyper, #Beaker, or anything related.
@HerraBRE@alexl@strypey@Blort So maybe we have to avoid HTTP. If the JS is served via #dat or #ipfs it has a defined, globally known version. The JS can ask the user to change to a newer version when available. Do I miss something here?
@mayel Slight tangent . . I'm experimenting (tentatively) with #beaker browser & pages written in #markdown in a repo shared over #dat as a basis for a website hosted on my own laptop boosted via #hashbase platform host. Far fewer features than Mediawiki - unless somone arranges a beaker hackathon? But maybe a regime like this is within the limited scope of a 'non-admin' user? The P2P capability might offset fewer bells & whistles? @bhaugen@KevinMarks@cwebber@neil@strypey
Hey #decentralization oriented people, there is a #DAT add-on for #Firefox 🔥 :firefox: that enables you to check content powered by @dat_project on your favorite independent browser, check out:
#Scuttlebutt has good security and p2p messaging. #IPFS has no security whatsoever, but it has the MerkleDAG, which is amazing for hypermedia. It also has brilliant support for streaming video. #Datproject is great for large repositories with versioning baked-in, and the Beaker browser does a pretty good job making #dat accessible.
No idea how integration could possibly work, the Beaker guys seem to have given up on that idea. But there's enough merit on all three to give it a good thought.
