# blob-stream

> A [choo](https://github.com/yoshuawuyts/choo), [hyperlog](https://github.com/mafintosh/hyperlog), [webtorrent](https://github.com/feross/webtorrent) experiment written in [modular](https://github.com/substack/node-browserify) [standard JS](https://github.com/feross/standard) that syncs images peer-to-peer between web browsers and even MacOS/Linux.

Simply open [https://pguth.github.io/blob-stream](https://pguth.github.io/blob-stream) in two web browser windows and select an image in one of them to see it work (use Chrome/Firefox).

## Web mode

```sh

npm install

npm start

```

Then go to [localhost:9966](http://localhost:9966). Open two instances of the page. In one of them use the file picker to add an image. Wait a few seconds for both instances to synchronize.

## Native mode ("legacy mode")

```sh

npm install

cd legacy

npm install

cd ..

npm run legacy

```

The script will then create a `./blob-stream` folder. Images added to that folder will be synced with other instances of blob-stream. Browser mode can be run simultaneously. Images that are added via browser instances will be synced into this folder and a system notification will be displayed (MacOS recent).

Local state can be reset via: `rm -rf legacy/ephemeral/known_files.db legacy/ephemeral/hyperlog_state/`
