Lightbase

Lightbase is an abstract, low-cost database library built on peer-to-peer networks. To simplify operations with databases, Lightbase is built to be:

• Affordable: as low-cost as possible leveraging peer-to-peer databases.
• Frictionless: fast and easy for developers to use. Built on REST API (minimal dependencies required) and HTTP-inspired calls.
• Unique: unique items that can be accessed across different databases.

Lightbase is currently built on IPFS.

Feel free to create an issue for feature requests.
