Package Exports

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (datmouth) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

datmouth

P2P chat client that uses DAT protocol underneath. For ephemeral conversations.

Have you lost your internet connection?

Works with peers connected:

Inspired by DAT foundation workshops and great packages in the community.

To experiment with kappa architectures check out kappa-core deck, hyperswarm, etc. Thanks to those folks implicated, having too much fun with this :)
