DAT Browser

How easy would it be use levelui to browse DAT? /cc @maxogden

we are currently refactoring the way we store data and also do sublevels, but when the dust has settled there i'll definitely look into it. i think it should be pretty doable as long as we switch to using a standard sublevel API

fwiw, after reviving this project and updating level-subtree, I'm quite happy with how the new level-sublevel works.

@finnp Please can you give any advise; if dat-marmotta would be reality, did that mean a levelgraph capable levelui (pivotpaths or fluidviews anyone?) could run on top of dat running on top of a LDP engine?

Anyone else: How could remoteStorages and ouch-replicates play in? Esp. considering Hydra?

Then me also want Schema Editors who are a mix between dswarm, Portable Linked Profiles, vie par pixelHumain and Federated Wiki.

Am I exaggerating? I hope not.

@almereyda Dat storage backends are only used as key-value stores. So while it would probably technically be possible to use marmotta as a backend it wouldn't make much sehse. I am also not yet sure how to use dat as a graph database. I would probably work with something like levelgraph. Implementing a UI on top of levelgraph would certainly be possible and (if held simpel) also easy to implement.

However let's continue the discussion about dat over here: dat-ecosystem-archive/datproject-discussions#20
