I literally know of exactly one person excited by the Pear stack, nostr:npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev
Quite interesting to never see anything about it in my nostr feed
Speaking of, is Keet open source yet?
The more I look into the pear stack the more skeptical I get. Most of their hyper packages don't use common dependencies and instead they have their own implementation of low level things like streams
They might have a good reason for it. But it always makes me skeptical when I see other devs reimplementing core concepts
Agree. I think the goal is noble and devs great but their lack of visible traction, the reimplementation of everything and them being so under the umbrella of one company makes me super skeptical too
no one else has managed to achieve what they have which is a social p2p app that scales big, so if they have done something themselves its because they needed to
Not sure why they went with implementing their own versions of things, but Maf and a few others have been at it for a decade. It’s also essentially an extension of his previous projects like webtorrent. He’s just been designing P2P stuff around the DHT model for a very long time. I don’t quite understand the dedication to the append only logs, but for whatever reason, it works, so I can’t knock it that much.
I agree although, I don't understand or agree with their development methods but it works very well for a P2P application and so I give it the benefit of a doubt
I've been using HyperDHT in a project for a while and its been great. its the first library/app I've found that JUST lets you do p2p connections. all the other ones I've looked into come bundled with a bunch of extra unnecessary stuff
I think pablo uses it as well
I’ve gotten rumor of another project that is taking a simpler approach like this and actually removing a lot of the higher layers of the stack to break it down to an MVP like that. No details to speak of but I’m staying in touch about it. Sounds exciting. The second it is public we will absolutely be covering it on 🍐The Pear Report🫡
