I created a fork of GunDB and rewrote it in TypeScript using Vibe Code
Israel Martins has created a fork of GunDB, rewriting it in TypeScript and introducing a new graph database called Garfo. This modernized version retains the familiar GUN graph API while incorporating significant improvements for the JavaScript ecosystem. Key features include support for Nostr transport, enhanced storage options, and a focus on browser-first applications.
- ▪Garfo is designed to fill the gaps left by GUN.js, adapting to the evolving JavaScript ecosystem.
- ▪It includes features like optional Nostr transport for peer-to-peer communication and various storage options such as IndexedDB.
- ▪The project is aimed at local-first and decentralized applications, with practical use cases like peer-to-peer chat and collaborative tools.
