Hypercore: Lego Blocks for P2P Apps (S03E09)

Hypercore is a set of building blocks to build distributed peer-to-peer applications. It provides a variety of data structures, as well as a discovery mechanism to share data between peers. It is a suite of tools that are the Lego blocks to build peer-to-peer apps. Chapters: [00:00:00] Intros [00:02:16] What is Hypercore?
