Project mention: Show HN: Nostr-CRDT – real-time collaborative apps over Nostr | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-02-08
Hi HN!
Nostr-CRDT is an experimental project that connects Yjs [1] (a proven, high performance CRDT) with Nostr [2].
I wanted to learn about the Nostr protocol and see if it'd be possible to send updates to state (e.g.: edits of a rich text document, updates to a todo list) over Nostr.
Nostr describes itself as "The simplest open protocol that is able to create a censorship-resistant global "social" network once and for all.".
I like the idea of a decentralized social network, but what if we can decentralize more kinds of apps and create decentralized, local-first collaborative applications? I've been exploring this area for a while and earlier shared a Show HN post that does this over Matrix [3].
There's still lots to figure out, but imo it's a very exciting and rapidly developing space - looking fwd to your thoughts already!

Project mention: How to store your app's entire state in the url | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-01-09
Store the content in ipfs and just put the hash in the URL? I haven't used https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs in this capacity but I'm under the impression that that's what it's supposed to do.

Project mention: Looking for a way to directly sent files over the internet, P2P | reddit.com/r/Piracy | 2023-02-08
Haven't tried them, but it might be worth giving a shot to one of these P2P "shares" using WebRTC, like this one.

trystero
🤝 Serverless WebRTC matchmaking for painless P2P — Make any site multiplayer in a few lines — Use BitTorrent, IPFS, or Firebase
Project mention: UnCloud project: WebRTC chat, file transfer, and remote observation | reddit.com/r/WebRTC | 2022-12-18Yes, this is a major issue that I haven't found a real solution for. There seems to be a mixture of iOS Safari bugs and intentional design limitations at play, and I don't know if a fully P2P web app like Chitchatter is practical on that platform. There's an open issue to improve this in Trystero (the networking library that Chitchatter uses), but there may be a limit to how stable iOS will be with WebRTC apps. 😕

Project mention: Switching from ws to socket.io to make development faster | reddit.com/r/javascript | 2022-02-14
Yeah I def see your point. I am using this open source repo to introduce webRTC functionality to my own app. They use socket.io in it. It's faster for me to use what others have built then building everything from scratch. I have taken a look at a lot of the popular open source projects (such as Miro) and it's just easier to piggyback of their setup which use socket io.

I made a demo of a peer to peer style game with VueJS (but it is vue2 sorry, cos I did it a while ago) https://github.com/ably-labs/depict-it It is open source, please take it if it is helpful! It uses Ably to do the websockets, which does the client/server communication with pub/sub. They have a pretty generous free account offering. There's a pretty thorough readme in the repo and I talk through it in this vid if you prefer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mE7cgvcuZig
