Stuff RangerMauve is working on

[RangerMauve]

Just wanted to have a place to keep track of the stuff I'm working on and what I plan to work on

• dat-store: Support sharing folders if the store service is running locally add folder support RangerMauve/dat-store#9
• Network debugging documentation: what steps should people take to when they can't load data
• Fix up Dat-Archive-Web
• Fix issues with file watching in dat-store
• Fix dat-js not advertising Dats on the network. Advertise on the network. RangerMauve/discovery-swarm-stream#7
• Enable dat-store to sync changes from a remote dat to local FS (like dat clone)

Priorities

• Minimal Spanning Tree (wireline funding)
• Web support in hyperdiscovery
• Dat SDK
  • Draft up a repo for what goes into it (library/feed/archive/swarm/gateway)
  • Create demo app with documentation on how the different parts work
  • Create documentation for individual tools in the SDK
• Integrate the SDK with dat-store
• hypercore support for dat-store
• UI for managing dat-stores (or hashbase if it adds CORS) published to Dat
• Dat 2 - SDK integration / etc
  • hyperswarm-proxy
  • hyperswarm-web
  • Support base32 in dat-encoding and dat-dns
  • unit tests for hyperdrive replication
  • corestore API in SDK
• SDK integration with Cabal
• dat-gateway + dat-store + hyperswarm-proxy = this should be a thing you deploy for your community or application and should load content the same as beaker

Community

• Newsletter (Spring)
• Terms documentation: Describe terms involved in the Dat ecosystem
• Add summary of DTN week to newsletter
• Organize community to collaborate between the different groups using Dat
  • Send out initial email to orgs
  • Initial meeting - figure out how to collaborate
  • Find points of collaboration

Other fun goodies

• multi-hyperdrive
• Example using multifeed, corestore, and the SDK
• Fix daemon creation in the dat-store CLI Set username on linux nospaceships/node-os-service#46
• FUSE on Windows
• Dat-js integrated with dweb-transports
• System tray application for Dat
  • Find open source system tray library
  • Build off of dat-store for running a storage provider locally
  • Basic web UI for interacting with the store loaded from localhost
  • Incorporate dat-gateway for loading websites
  • incorporate hyperswarm-proxy for browser replication

[RangerMauve]

Dat-store is released!

[RangerMauve]

There's already documentation for troubleshooting loading data! https://docs.datproject.org/docs/troubleshooting

Gonna skip that step in the TODO list.

[RangerMauve]

So, two things before I can improve the dat-js reliability:

• dat-store is having issues with syncing from folders (thanks fleeky)
• I quickly updated dat-archive-web so people can add the DatArchive API from Beaker using dat-js under the hood

[RangerMauve]

Dat-store is updated in 2.0.9 and people are saying that it's working well. 🎉

Also made a lot of progress on discovery-swarm-stream not advertising Dats created in the browser on the network. Probably finish that up tomorrow. RangerMauve/discovery-swarm-stream#8

[RangerMauve]

Progress on first newsletter: dat-ecosystem/newsletter#5

[RangerMauve]

Released the discovery-swarm-stream stuff, it's given dat-js a huge performance boost!

[RangerMauve]

Added some more terms to the docs: dat-ecosystem-archive/docs#154

[okdistribute]

regarding the system-tray, that might overlap with some of the daemon work that @andrewosh has been working on, so let's punt on that for now I'd say and try to minimize any duplicate efforts going on by coordinating with the hyperdivision folks

[RangerMauve]

So, I've got an initial sketch for cabal-web going: https://github.com/RangerMauve/cabal-web

This helped stress-test discovery-swarm-web and random-access-storage. Part of this involved creating a new discovery-swarm-web gateway which keeps the default discovery-swarm handshake in place for applications that need it (like cabal). This should make it useful for a wider variety of applications.

Next I'm gonna finish up some stuff with dat-store

[RangerMauve]

Drafting up May's newsletter now. :)

[RangerMauve]

Working on the SDK, gonna get an initial version out there with the DatArchive API, then I'll draft up the new Hyperdrive/Hypercore Beaker stuff.

The initial version will lay down the groundwork for using hyperdiscovery / archive management cross-platform.

[RangerMauve]

Alternating between SDK and Mostly Minimal Spanning tree at the moment.

Also doing some organizational stuff for the working group.

[RangerMauve]

Fixed a big bug in random-access-web on firefox. Thanks to @Gozala and @sammacbeth for helping debug!

First version of the SDK is almost ready to be released. Just waiting on this hyperdrive PR to be released.

First version of the SDK is out BTW
