Scuttlebutt Apps
Your scuttlebutt is the data you carry with you - imagine a little slice of a parallel universe in your pocket. This data is yours and you can interact with it however you like.
These apps are different kinds of magic glasses to help you interact with this reality. Try different glasses on, change them when you're bored, make some new ones that fit you better ... your scuttleverse doesn't mind - it's just data.
Come explore with us! If you are new, you might like to start with Patchwork!

ssbdrv
This is a proof of concept for a decentralized file system for Secure Scuttlebutt.
With SSB Drive you can create as many file systems ("drives") as you like, share and organize files with your friends without requiring a central repository or server. When you work on your files while offline, the SSB Drive file system will merge automatically with the rest of the world once you rejoin the grid. Name conflicts are handled with "Observed Removed Sets" (OR-Sets) from CRDT.
