Looks Very cool, a toolkit to build all kinds of things. Does it work with dynamically changing objects, e.g. for transmitting an image from one user to a group of others?

Thanks a lot! The way it’s built is that you could add an image to a site and the users on that site would then distribute the image in a decentalized network amongst them. There is no way to post things from one user to others without first adding to a site with the script on.
Interesting idea, that should be doable. Must admit we haven’t tried exactly that, but it works fine with dynamically added pictures.
Does the initial user have to actually upload the picture to my server, or could I just dynamically add an image tag with the right "filepath" to all the pages (orchestrated through e.g. a websocket channel) and it would automatically sync that?
