[D] Adnan: <@!178314946201780224> sorry I missed your earlier response.
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
null updates? What version?
@aniquetahir yes, if you are running NodeJS. But in the browser alone, no, browsers won't let us do p2p unless WebRTC has signaling servers - but every relay peer runs a signaling system so we can decentralize it.
