Oh My... this is sick. How is this NOT mainstream in the JS ecosystem?!! I have read about the project previously, but never dug into it. Looking forward to experimenting with this!!!!
Maybe because it is an open-source alternative to Firebase and google doesn't want people to know about it? Hence, hiding search results in youtube and google.When this thing gets traction the IT world will change indeed
@@skryonline5825 Another way to think about it is that FireBase is heavily promoted and that there is no obligation or incentive for them to promote this. Which means it's up to the developers to spread the word ☺️
@@skryonline5825 it's not mainstream because the project fucking sucks. Take a look at the repo, it's a mess and this guy has NO clue about building a database.
Wow, GUN sounds super powerful and versatile! Some of the submodules alone like the YSON JS Parser sound quite transformative. I think GUN will be a perfect backbone for a big app idea I have, and now I feel inspired and prepared to take action :D
Awesome personality and a great product. Reminds me of Silicon Valley series. Not the same product but shares some similar concepts. His passion is contagious.
The problem is IndexDB browser storage capacity varies from browser to browser, so you can't really rely on GUN to store big database in browsers. But if that's not requirement of your project, this is super-cool for some other things than big databases I guess.
That's not really true since browsers aren't the only nodes, for any production quality app with gun, you gotta host a Gun relay node in nodejs that can backup data to a backend database and provide data that no other peers have and then add your node to the list when initialising Gun in the user's browser
Hey man, amazing work. I just don't understand this: if I want to build my own app, how do I make sure I am not fetching messages from some other app? 🤔
I'm having the same experience with Gun's code and docs. I've seen similar complaints from other devs going back 7-8 years, so I doubt Gun will ever really "feel" like a production-grade library to work with, in terms of DX... Which is unfortunate, as I think these concepts are really interesting. Maybe OrbitDB will become a decent alternative as it matures.

it probably will never be viable for enterprise because of data policies
Fascinating and a very eloquent guest. Thank you

Oh, I wish I have the money to support you and this project. Amazing!

He basically answered this concern in the video. Did you not watch the entire video?

Gun is awesome
Only problem I'm facing now is not synching my phone and computer browser
I was about to give Gun a try on my next project but then I heard Mark calling a gif as "jif" and now I'm not so sure about it 😂
people calling it either jif or gif . I’d not worry about it. lol
:D Forgive him, even in his family they don't know how to spell their name xD
Me: Is this future technology? Web 3.0?
They: No. We developed new library-protocol, named sniper.js and working on project machinegun.js 😂
i waiting rad tutorial please
His technology is awesome definetly but what are these presentation skills.. so chaotic and hard to follow his talk
