OrbitDB is one of the key dependencies in 3box, an awesome tool for building decentralized apps where the user controls their own data. https://3box.io/

I'm one of the maintainers of 3Box! Let me know if you have any questions. You can learn more at: Web: http://3box.io Github: https://github.com/3box Discord chat: https://discord.gg/669BQHv

3box makes OrbitDB really easy to have a persistent easy to use!

If you try to go with just OrbitDb you will have to handle manage the ipfs nodes and pin data so it stays persistent and loads faster but also handle the permissions too.

But with 3Box makes it easier to do all of the permissions and loading all data faster + always persistent and/or public or private data, and you know what's amazing? the way you can store data? for example if you want to build a chat app you can use Messaging (Threads) to make quickly a chat app! https://docs.3box.io/api/messaging

Enjoy!

that link doesn't load if I block google ad requests.

You can always check out the 3Box docs site: https://docs.3box.io/

How do you block these requests? Just asking as I have pihole blocking google ads but I have no issue accessing the website.

I use uMatrix, however the whole site fails to load in Palemoon.

I am excited by this from what all the docs say but every one of the demos is either broken on my iPhone or so extremely slow to load that I am not able to demo it.
