If this is JavaScript - this is mean that it can works inside web browser?

In theory yes, but you need a server so the browser can find peers, which isn't needed with cabal-desktop since it can connect to a hyperswarm without any server.

but you need a server

Service worker?

Service worker?

A websocket server or similar running e.g. hyperswarm-web.

vitaly-zdanevich commented 2 years ago

In browser you can use WebSockets.

Browser version is more secure because of the sandbox, this is more dangerous to install dedicated software.

would browser work on smart phone?
