Hi everyone. I’m Dennis, one of the founders of Greta, a small startup from Sweden. We currently support video (dash, hls, mp4), audio, images and arbitrary data. Happy to respond to any questions or comments you have! :)
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?
Any reason it's called "Greta"? That's my wife's name so it's kind of weird to see it as a product name as well :P
Haha yes that must be a bit weird! Well first of all, we think it's a beautiful old Swedish name, it was actually the name of my dad's grandmother. But also we wanted it to be a reflection of trying to build something simple and easy-to-use, as opposed to many players in the CDN space that all use the same type of big-enterprise-tech-corp names - Cloudflare, Cloudfront, Limelight, Edgecast...
