I didn't know that existed, but it looks REALLY nice. It would be cool to allow for users to signup with regular email/password and let them import their own json.
I won't release the project per se, but I do plan on striping out all the business logic and release a full stack SaaS scaffolding (Node + React) of the project with the basics (dockerized dev enviroment, a CRUD, authorization, deploy ready etc...) for anyone to build a product like this. this.
I really like this approach. Is there a plan in place to implement this on a server and client? A simple node server with a hacked up moz might be a good start for a prototype.
Neat, definitely useful. I'm wondering if it would be possible for someone (or you guys) to build something similar that would let me "take over" a user's session, so I can demonstrate my application to a potential new user.
Sure! Check out https://github.com/MainframeHQ/js-mainframe. This is a browser-like desktop app that has ambitions to embed portions of itself at the OS layer some day (we call it "mainframeOS" right now, with that ambition in mind).
We'll be making our first public release at the beginning of February. It will combine decentralized file storage, messaging, identity, and contacts in an easy-to-use API for dapps that operate from within its framework.
I'd be very interested to hear your feedback. I'm @canadaduane on twitter and @duane@refactorcamp.org on mastodon.
If I build a prototype on this, and get some users - is there a path to migrate their accounts and data to a new backend in the future?
