brotchu what am i missing with the demo files ?
wytrzeszcz i know im lazly bastard... but it is late at night and so... do you have any hello world example to check dat out? i run mint on desktop now
indicator Hi, are people using hypercore in conventional browsers? I'd like to start developing a project just with simple-as-possible two-way replication between I guess an IndexedDB storage (does one exist?) in a web browser peer that has a web UI, and a node.js desktop peer (which would expose some network API to a command line UI). Is that possible, and is there a simple-ish way into that without pulling in a lot of "swarm" stuff, just
indicator hard-coding my two localhost peers initially?
substack it's possible to compile hypercore for the browser and you can use https://github.com/RangerMauve/hyperswarm-web although i'm not sure how easy it is to connect web peers to desktop peers
substack and https://github.com/random-access-storage/random-access-web is the best option for the storage layer in the browser (pass an instance to the hypercore constructor storage field)
indicator Thanks - isn't the bootstrap argument in the hyperswarm-web README.md referring to an instance of https://github.com/hyperswarm/hyperswarm (which could be running in plain old node.js or an electron app, or whatever?)
indicator All the webrtc stuff here does seem like a bit of a distraction for me at the moment though. I'm on board with the direction of travel, but my hope initially is to 1. make use of append-only log sync 2. provide a central peer for casual users with the option for them to dip their toe into decentralised web via running a local peer.
So is this called the dat protocol or the hypercore protocol
decentral1se because i am still salty
decentral1se have you visited the Dat Community discord or cabal channels?
decentral1se did anyone else have thoughts on this?
decentral1se used to be a vibe here
Hello everyone! Anyone explain what is the relation of DAT and Hypercore protocol? Hypercore is just a component?
Dat Protocol was renamed to Hypercore Protocol a little over a year ago, see https://blog.datproject.org/dat-protocol-renamed-hypercore-protocol/
Protocol refuses to pull data from sites like hashbase.io
Why
it looks like chat has moved to discord. This chat is for the old website. The new website is at https://hypercore-protocol.org/ and the new chat is at https://chat.hypercore-protocol.org/ . I'm leaving for discord.
please who is the owner of this domain datprotocol.com
and sorry for any inconvenience
This message is replying to a Matrix event but we were unable to find associated bridged Gitter message to put it in the appropriate threaded conversation.
How did you do that?
@Domainempire21_twitter use whois
yeah, i give up. nothing to be found or working using the beaker browser
I think this project had a spurt of activity a year or so ago but that's it for now
To talk about the protocol hypercord discord is the place to go. But if you are building a project on top of hypercore protocol, join the Dat ecosystem server and find out how to collaborate with other projects, get help from other builders, maybe work on some paid tasks...

There is of course also a cabal bridge for the discord chat so feel free to use any to join the conversation
We want to build a garden on top of the Hypercore P2P Protocol, with you. If you have a moment to answer some questions it would really help us!

hello everyone! I'm new to the topic and I'm trying to use dat to clone and share documents. I am able to run the dat commands, but 1. when I run the dat create command, the folder .dat is created fine but there is no JSON file (as I understand, it should be created automatically) and 2. more importantly, once I have created the .dat folder, if I use the command dat share, it says "Connecting to dat network..." but nothing happens. Same if I try to clone a folder from an existing dat:// , it says "Connecting to dat network..." but does not clone the data. I'm using a 4G router and I wonder if that may cause an issue? Could anyone help me out with this please? Thank you!
