cwebber2 nightpool[m]: cool... I haven't looked at DAT but I've heard about it
#
nightpool[m] well you're in luck!
#
nightpool[m] because I have it on very good authority that the introductory guide was just re-written
#
nightpool[m] https://datprotocol.github.io/how-dat-works/
#
cwebber2 ah it does the important thing
#
cwebber2 and has a uri scheme
#
cwebber2 that means it probably can be used :)
#
nightpool[m] i read some of that page yesterday and was very impressed at how clear and well-written it was
#
cwebber2 yeah seems nice
#
nightpool[m] anyway, after some reading, it looks like there's no "killer feature" of DAT that makes it much better then ipfs
#
nightpool[m] and it seems much less mature in some areas (DHT peer discovery is still in development)
#
rialtate[m] Looks pretty cool. I got a headache every time I tried to read the ipfs spec 😵
#
rialtate[m] This one looks real simple. Sort of.

cwebber2 hello hello!
#
cwebber2 sketching out application structure
#
cwebber2 I wanted to do this with ipfs but it turns out there's not a multipart http lib for racket yet. So either I write that (probably not too hard?) and then the ipfs lib, or I just go easy and skip the ipfs part for now, since I still can do the demo without it
#
cwebber2 I think I'm going to write the demo parts without it for now and then come back to the ipfs bit.

#
cwebber2 https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rwot7-toronto/blob/master/topics-and-advance-readings/magenc.md
#
fr33domlover cwebber2, yeah you linked me to that page :)
#
cwebber2 aha :)
#
cwebber2 I'm working on a demo then I'll do a writeup of how it works
#
fr33domlover cwebber2, I just mean, I'm implementing federation for my web app so if you'd like more independent implementations to test with etc. I'd love to explore
#
cwebber2 fr33domlover: ah yeah :)
#
