Looks very promising. Do you have a vision for how we should build p2p apps more generally? I have recently found the holepunch libraries / pear runtime and am curious if you have any thoughts on those projects or how hypercore(?) compares to genosDB.

GenosDB vs Holepunch

GenosDB is a distributed graph database built for the modern web—runs entirely in the browser, uses OPFS for storage, WebAuthn for authentication, and offers a minified production-ready P2P client. The client is the source of truth.

Holepunch, on the other hand, is a decentralized app platform built on the Hypercore Protocol—great for building custom peer-to-peer apps like Keet, but it doesn’t include a database layer or client-side persistence by default.

Feature GenosDB Holepunch Type Distributed graph DB Decentralized app platform Storage Browser (OPFS, IndexedDB) App-defined (Hypercore, etc.) Auth WebAuthn + RBAC Not included P2P Sync WebRTC (via Trystero) DHT + Hypercore Codebase Minified client lib (genosdb) Fully open (various repos) Use Case Structured data & relationships Custom P2P protocols & messaging

GenosDB is ideal if you need a client-side graph DB with real-time P2P sync. Holepunch is great for building from scratch with total flexibility, but higher complexity.

I'll send you the complete documentation, it's super easy to create applications with artificial intelligence, simply by pasting the official documentation to any assistant and asking it to build it for you and, as if by magic, you'll have it working thanks to the fact that GenosDB is loaded integrated from the CDN. https://github.com/estebanrfp/gdb/wiki/GDB-API-Reference And here's a post from the author on how to build a distributed todolist app in real time.https://genosdb.com/build-a-to-do-list-in-minutes-with-genos...
