There's definitely interest. Berty has a Go implementation and the idea of a Rust implementation gets tossed around every season.

Can Webassembly read IndexedDB yet?

Swarm persistence is hard, if not close to impossible. Better that multiple parties pin the data than just one though. It's a step in the right direction.

OrbitDB doesn't rely on a blockchain at all

It's not dead, just in a bit of a lull due to funding, which is hopefully coming soon. We have a very active Gitter and OpenCollective.

Also, speaking of Rust - we'd love more contributors over at https://github.com/ipfs-rust/rust-ipfs/.

Hey cryptoquick, I remember you from a while back. I'm https://twitter.com/aphelionz, one of the maintainers. Nice to see you :)

You're not wrong about the memory usage. We decided early on that the tradeoff would be more RAM than to take the performance hit with the I/O (either to and from IPFS or to and from the filesystem in the case of SnapDB).

That being said, I have been experimenting with removing indexes like the ones you pointed out in favor of generators that emit the values as they are traversed. There are two main efforts here, one is feasible and the other is more difficult.

1. The `entryIndex` inside of ipfs-log can probably go, and the ipfs-log#traverse function can be made into an async generator function that passes the oplog values up to the store 2. The indexes you linked to that hold the calculated STATE are harder to get rid of - they could be persisted to IPFS or the file system as well

Open to ideas on #2. SnapDB might work for all I know, as I haven't attempted it yet.

I can't speak to Electron, React, Redux, Iced, etc, but my guess is there are optimizations one can do there as well.

Can you elaborate?

Well, I imagine you'll be happy to know that some of us have begun IPFS implementation in Rust: https://github.com/ipfs-rust/rust-ipfs

Ah, sorry, yes I stepped on a rake and whacked myself in the face here.

What I meant, since LWW is nomenclature for an alternative to CRDTs, is that the last writer by _logical clock_ in a CRDT, not by _wall clock_ time, will "win" the key.

There ya go!

This is an open problem. It might be surprising to find out that it's quite difficult.

CRDTs usually work as last-write-wins, meaning that if you have a key-value store, the last update to update a key 'wins' the value via the way oplog reduction works.

If you reverse that to a FIRST-write-wins log, you can grant permissions and ownership on a first-come, first-serve basis. Revocation, then, becomes the issue. What do you do with the records they already have? Questions like that are plentiful.

The approach most people take is to find workarounds or "good enough" solutions here, either by using encryption and allowing the encrypted data to be public, or by using some sort of other OrbitDB store as their ACL and management, and only giving select keys access to write to said ACL store in the first place.

Adding encryption into the mix though, particularly multi-writer, becomes exponentially harder.

tl;dr: You use this any time you want to have mutable data shared across a peer-to-peer network.

I wasn't there at the beginning but I believe the project came out of trying to achieve said mutable state within IPFS (which, for other readers is content-addressed and therefore append-only)

http://orbitdb.org lists all of our current users, the biggest one is Metamask by way of https://3box.io. https://tallylab.com is building with it for remote encrypted backup and shared tallies. https://github.com/dappkit/aviondb is a MongoDB-like interface for it.

Yeah, sorry about that :( There's this though: https://github.com/haadcode/orbit-db-control-center

(which also seems to be putting https://ipfs.io under strain. Sorry, ipfs.io!

OrbitDB works with a CRDT stored in IPFS. In order to calculate the state of the database, it does need to reduce the CRDT oplog which requires fetching all the entries. This was indeed very time consuming, particularly for remote requests, since we used a "nexts" list of addresses to load.

HOWEVER! Our latest release, 0.23.0, mitigated this by using a power-of-2 skiplist to load things in parallel, which gave us a nice 4-5x boost there.

Hey thanks for taking a look at this. We support identity providers (the one you linked), and access controllers.[1]

Identity providers work by cross-signing an external keypair with the generated OrbitDB key-pairs, and access controllers generally work by exposing a `canAppend` function that facilitates any kind of auth you want to perform. There's support for Metamask for example. OrbitDB is also used _in_ Metamask under the hood by our good friends at 3box.[2]

TallyLab, my application project, uses these in its IAM system and you can see the repos here.[3]

Hey folks! I'm https://twitter.com/aphelionz. One of the maintainers of OrbitDB. Happy to answer any questions you might have. I'll also be in the thread answering folks as well.

It's still so interesting to me that this never caught on, particularly in the "distributed age." This feels like a hidden gem in the research that has been covered up by the sands of time.
