No use of CDN ? - Githubissues

Phyks commented 10 years ago

Hi,

Do you think you could include together.js in the repo and not use any external CDN ?

Thanks

Hi there,

Why would you like to include together.js script in the repo?

Here are the reasons why I wanted to use an external CDN:

I wanted to keep it up to date to prevent any bug or something by taking the latest release.
And even if you include the script in the repo, it will still communicate with Mozilla's Hub on the internet. So, I prefered to include the external resource.

However, I'm really open to suggestions, feel free!

Actually, I get the point with hosting the script through their CDN. But, I'd like to have a single app to self-host, without any external queries.

I did not know how together.js works and just discovered that it needed a hub to work (actually, I thought it was kind of P2P system, based on WebRTC or so).

But it appears that together.js hub is not really difficult to self-host: https://togetherjs.com/docs/#hosting-the-hub-server

So I still think it could be nice to have an app without any external depency nor call.
