Description

Permaweb lets you create groups for friends and teams. Fully private to discuss sensitive info. Hosted P2P by group users. E2E encrypted. No cloud.

Technology

Permaweb runs on a series of self-hosted nodes. These are powered by Textile.io, which is acts as a digital wallet for fully encrypted, decentralized content. Content is stored using the IPFS protocol, which makes Permaweb links unique and permanent. This makes Permaweb extremely resilient: we do not have your keys, and there is no single point of failure. You are the platform.

  • Permaweb uses IPFS for content addressable hashing to make mirroring and mesh networking easy.
  • We use Textile, the best library for distributed web applications.

Project

This project was bootstrapped with Create React App, and then the build/run configuration was customized with a craco.config.js file.

Available Scripts

In the project directory, you can run:

yarn start

Runs the app in the development mode.

Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in the browser.

The page will reload if you make edits.

You will also see any lint errors in the console.

yarn test

Launches the test runner in the interactive watch mode.

See the section about running tests for more information.

yarn build

Builds the app for production to the build folder.

It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.

The build is minified and the filenames include the hashes.

Your app is ready to be deployed!

See the section about deployment for more information.

Learn More

You can learn more in the Create React App documentation, and the Craco project repo.

Textile

Textile provides encrypted, recoverable, schema-based, and cross-application data storage built on IPFS and libp2p. We like to think of it as a decentralized data wallet with built-in protocols for sharing and recovery, or more simply, an open and programmable iCloud.

This demo is designed to showcase the features of js-http-client, which is available on npmjs.com under the @textile scope. js-http-client provides access to an underlying textile-go node's REST API, adding various simplified APIs to support in-browser and programmatic desktop access. For the most part, the API would mimic the command-line and/or mobile APIs of textile-go, with some browser-specific enhancements. It works well in conjunction with the Textile desktop Tray app.
