Beaker is an experimental browser for exploring and building the peer-to-peer web based on the Dat protocol, while remaining compatible with the rest of the world wide web. Dat (dat:// ) is a data distribution protocol for publishing versioned data sets and generic file archives. As such it can be used to distribute in a peer-to-peer (hostless) fashion websites and JavaScript applications. Dat is similar to IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) but more targeted to data science and hostless apps. Main functionalities of the Beaker browser: - browsing over http and https - browsing and seeding over dat - inspect all the files that make up a dat file archive ("view source") ========== The Beaker browser seems like the easiest entry point in the Dat ecosystem, See: - htps://dat.foundation/ - https://datprotocol.github.io/how-dat-works/ Note: it is an Electron app.
