User should understand the 'health' of a dataset #46

Open okdistribute opened 8 years ago

okdistribute commented 8 years ago

When a user shares a file, if it hasn't been downloaded by another peer, it will be ephemeral. That means, once they close their browser tab, cli process, or computer, the data will disappear.

We can detect:

We can notify the user if someone else is downloading their data and when it is completely downloaded but thats a separate issue - see https://github.com/datproject/dat.land-roadmap/issues/11.

There seems to be three types of health: 1) RED; DANGER; no one is sharing this dataset, or you are the only person sharing this dataset. 2) YELLOW; CAUTION; one person is sharing this dataset that isn't you. If they stop, its gone. 3) GREEN; GOOD TO GO; two or more people are sharing this dataset. You can safely stop sharing.

we'll also need to play with what 'health' means as we start using it, different criteria might make more sense on desktop app vs. web app
