Secure scuttlebutt core (similar to ssb-server) in a browser. This is a full implementation of ssb running in the browser only (but not limited to, of course). The key of your feed is stored in the browser together with the log, indexes and smaller images. To reduce storage and network requirements, partial replication has been implemented. Wasm is used for crypto and is around 90% the speed of the C implementation. A WebSocket is used to connect to pubs or rooms. The bundle-core.js file in dist/ is roughly 2mb. Replication in the browser is quite a bit slower than in node, around 2x. There doesn't seem to be a single cause, it appears to be all the diferrent layers that are slower: end-to-end encryption, database write etc. SSB conn is used for connections and rooms are supported. Partial replication is implemented which allows two connected browsers to do a partial sync. Partial replication speed on a fast laptop is roughly 425 feeds in 56 seconds, and roughly half of that on a slow laptop or when running on battery. Boxes represent modules, some internal to browser-core and some external. Ellipses in gray represents overall areas and are thus not modules.
