We're looking for feedback on Beaker! Let us know what you think.

Big big announcement today. We've launched Hashbase.io, a peer-to-peer hosting service that keeps your Dat archives online and bridges HTTPS.

@nolan we're exploring some new ideas and I'm curious how this hits you as a browser engineer

https://twitter.com/pfrazee/status/879430133815402497 some idle speculation on integrating a semantic web DB into the browser
TL;DR: Dat uses an append-only feed that’s inspired by Certificate Transparency to create auditable change logs in file archives. We use this to deliver Web applications securely in Beaker
Wrote a blog thing! "Cryptographically-secured change feeds in the Dat protocol, and on the Web"
Technically we're posting this tomorrow, but I'm excited about this one, so I'm posting the draft here. Don't tell tara.

We're exploring how we can use part of the WebExtensions API to make thick web applications https://github.com/beakerbrowser/beaker/wiki/Thick-Applications:-Unifying-WebExtensions-with-the-Web-platform-and-moving-beyond-injections

^ basically there were some people in that purchase who, for every $1k they put in, they now hold $6
The BATs were immediately turned over by the buyers and the value dropped hard https://twitter.com/notgrubles/status/870008988666142720
Brave just raised $35mm with an ICO of their Ethereum token for decentralized advertising
@nolan bleh, they're ridiculously mobile and facebook centric
@nolan I wonder if it would be possible implement a fast GitHub + Venmo proof of concept for the code-tipping idea. Venmo is like 95% of the way there.
Honest and insightful answer to the question of "why don't more open-source projects monetize?" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14446871
We made a new demo video for beaker, check it out! https://youtu.be/U2B9mwRFE8U
The Dat project, with hypercore lib and https://beakerbrowser.com/ are really promising!
Are there any tooters who played with it? Any feedbacks?
