A general decentralized real-time sync library supporting text and binary.
agde is a set of libraries to handle syncing clients in a network.
It can sync whenever, like Git, but doesn't store a history. This means the storage it uses is much lower. It's also faster, and merging is automatic. This enables real-time cooperation.
den is the low-level underlying difference algorithm. It works on general data, both binary and text.
It supports both syncing a local file with a remote's using a cheap, rsync-esque algo and obtaining a diff between local files to share with others.
agde takes the local diff function of den and builds a framework around it to provide asynchronous arrival of events.
This enables unreliable networks (such as the internet) to be used in a live environment, without any data getting lost.
It also takes care of validating data integrity.
The architecture is a decentralized pier-to-pier network. The implementer can choose to transmit data via WebSockets, WebRTC, or any other (semi-reliable) protocol.
For most cases, you should use agde-io, which takes care of most of the heavy-lifting.
This builds a async runtime to simplify accessing files and network IO with other clients.
agde-io also takes care of all the types of messages and when to call check-up functions. This is all configurable.
A native binary implementation of agde-io using Tokio and WebSockets. This might be expanded in the future to include WebRTC. Useful for desktop applications and servers. It's currently lacking clean detection.
An implementation of agde-io on the web, requiring the user to give JS functions for saving, reading, and listing resources. It uses WebSockets for communication. This might be expanded in the future to include WebRTC.
An implementation of agde-web using localforage to store the data.
To know when to push and pull changes, agde benefits from knowing when the resources are up to date and modifiable by agde (e.g. written to disk).
On the web, this is achieved by manually saving the data and calling commit_and_send on a regular interval.
