Building peer-to-peer apps with the Beaker Browser

on YouTube ↗33m

" summary

Beaker is a browser that ships a peer-to-peer stack using the DAT protocol, lets a machine host sites without a server, and exposes concrete APIs: writeFile/readFile for storing profile JSON and posts as files, live-reload and a seed-forever toggle to keep content online, and a watch API that emits updates so apps like fritter aggregate feeds without polling. The demo builds and edits a site in-browser and shows posts working end-to-end.
