I want to offer a cloud sync for an app, without requiring the user to create an account/login. i.e. they have some sort of generated token that they can share out-of-band to their other devices.

Anyone know of existing schemes for this?

@swiftcoder Syncthing works exactly like this.

@swiftcoder ah, that isn't what you meant by "schemes" though, is it

@tartley it’s good inspiration either way, but looking to integrate something directly in app. And I’ll probably need a centralised server for offline sync, although peer-2-peer is always tempting

@swiftcoder

try dat

build your app on e.g. hyperdrive

all your "cloud sync" needs to offer is a way to share the "public key" of the drive and use it to sync and then seed the data.

no account creation needed.

@dat_ecosystem knows more.

It even has a runtime for that https://docs.pears.com
