[D] alexz: If in my message forum app im making with gun, i need to check if 24 hours have passed since a post was made, in order to change a state on the user, would it be best to do that by just saving the post time when i save my post with set(), and then iterate through all the posts and check elapsed time, OR,
should i save the post with a set() and a time() and check with time? OR
should i only save the post with time() and get all the post data (text, author) from that without having to save it with set() also?
<@!797929649467686953> did you see my earlier response? I was asking for some more details, couldn't quite figure out what you meant.
<@!624103263482150912> <@!535370860521979914> when GUN syncs accounts, it does not do it based on alias - so it is perfectly safe to have multiple accounts with same name or alias, without the accounts getting confused.
<@!636489182214357002> getting better! 😄
<@!621087760496853023> there are still some fixes in your RAD code for RAD-serialized data (not JSON) I'm wanting to check.
<@!320307597670350848> that's the beauty, they're all equal. But if you are the source of your own data, that probably means there is higher chance you have it than others.
Yeah, unfortunately WebRTC doesn't work that way 😦 the goal with the DHT tho is to have this tho, & rotating so you don't become dependent on any single one.
GUN does already do peer discovery, based on data subscriptions. In that sense, the peers you list are bootstrapping peers. It is just that currently not all of the bootstrapping peers are connected to each other - which is what the DHT will do. <@!636489182214357002> isn't that an issue in 2020, not 2019?
Yay more Griffin! 🙂
see <@!437811788122161152> 's post recently to access the peer list.
<@!516339189323792394> which example (?)
<@!261538043834531861> what go1dfish did for his p2p reddit forum clone is save the posts in daily or hourly buckets so like
...get('2021/01/09:1:30 or so, now there is only X number of posts per day or hour to check, rather than iterating over everything.

I am getting issue on receiving data on in active browser tab.
If I open page on two different tabs then only active tab is getting broadcast data.
Inactive tab only gets data if I move to it within couple of seconds otherwise it would miss the broadcast.
@GerhardMes w00h00! How can we help? (beware the chat bridge might be spotty)
- know when GunDB peers are ready to use
Hello! I'm going through the tutorial here: https://gun.eco/docs/Todo-Dapp And it's not fully working. A couple problems:
- Clicking the "edit on CodePen" button doesn't get a proper copy of the source code. All the quotation marks are missing from the entire thing, so nothing works.
- If I copy from the https://gun.eco/docs/Todo-Dapp page INTO the CodePen page, I get better results, but not fully working results.
When I save it to a file on my PC and run it in a browser, nothing works. Would be good in your docs to say you have to run it in at least 2 browser tabs simultaneously before anything does anything.
When I do that, I can "sign up" and "sign in", but the syncing only works between two tabs of the same browser. It never syncs between browser types nor even between regular browser tabs and private browser tabs and never across multiple machines. I'm at my wits end. Not sure where to go from here.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
BTW, created this centralized site: https://DecentralizationCentral.com and will be converting it to fully decentralized. The decentralized database is the final hurdle to overcome to complete that task.
I should mention that I am completely and totally lost on whatever the hell NodeJS is. I just don't get it and don't understand the use of it on a decentralized app when the users will 100% not be using it, so I can't understand why I'd need it while developing the app. My extremely vague understanding is it's something that installs in some secret location on my developer machine and provides server side running of JavaScript? If at all possible, I'd prefer to never have to touch it for any reason. I just want to write a simple HTML file with a few lines of JS to create my POC for GunDB. If I can get that working, then I'm golden! ;)
Oh my! Thank you, some of these I was aware of but others totally unaware, like (1) & (2) thank you!
We hit 30M monthly users in 2020 and things started crashing like crazy and I rushed to make as many experimental edits as I could and in that process I broke several things & left the ecosystem a mess. Usually it should "just work" across any machine with simple HTML. :( So the only options right now is either run your own "relay peer" (this is what the NodeJS thing is, it is server-side javascript that acts as a fallback if p2p connections fail - which, in the browser, with WebRTC, is 40% of the time. These relays do not need to be centralized) and several here (well, most of the community is on Discord now, you OK with joining that? http://chat.gun.eco ) can help you with that. The other option is to wait a few months for me to get the new version out, which I don't recommend waiting for.
Also, if possible! Please join the discord now? :) Most people moved over to it, even tho I liked gitter. http://chat.gun.eco
