Thanks Mark, that definitely cleared up a lot of my concerns on Gun. To be honest, I only had a cursory glance at it when I first heard about it, but reading your comment definitely sparked enough interest for me to take a deeper look.

One question still on my mind after quickly skimming your docs: Can Gun sync directly between browsers (using something like WebRTC) without involving any servers? If so, could you point me to where it might be documented? If not, please consider this a feature request. =)

The answer is "Yes, it is in development" by one of our contributors: https://github.com/PsychoLlama/gun-rtc . But you'll realistically have to wait (or help) with it, before it is usable.

As you know though, WebRTC unfortunately requires some initial servers (STUN/ICE, or a signaling server, etc.) so it is not fool-proof P2P sadly.
