Demos?
- N/A
js-stores bug (Daniel) - fix: prefix filtering in datastore-fs js-stores#354
- also chore: deprecate blockstore-level and datastore-fs js-stores#353
js-meetup: when/where? grants? etc..
helia-verified-fetch: supporting internet Archive listing wide flat dir content without fetching entirety of children

js-libp2p streams:
- makes it easier to use for devs, more idiomatic. helps us match specs more easily. better half-closed support. performance benefits (not doing async work for every chunk..)
- Basically EventTargets that look like NodeJS streams
- NodeJS maintainers seem to not like the idea of 0-RTT (except for QUIC) which would increase performance for js-libp2p as well: Support TLS 1.3 0-RTT nodejs/node#28931
js-stores: bug found when working with distributed press
- we shouldn't be storing blocks/files(blockstore) in a database, should use filesystem, and keep the data (datastore) needed for peers and routing in database: deprecate blockstore-level, and datastore-fs..
- We may find some DB that makes sense for blockstore in the future, but until we run into a usecase where we hit some bottleneck, we should be recommending blockstore-fs for production usecases.
js meetup:
- We talked about this a while ago.. we want to make it happen, need to decide what the agenda is, what we want to cover, how this meetup can help set js-libp2p and js ecosystem for better funding in the coming year.
- we have an uptick in interest from fairly large players and may not be communicating that well: distributed press, internet archive, and more..

talk to nikolai about setting up another js-libp2p bootstrapper so we can do some A/B testing
deprecate blockstore-level, datastore-fs packages (readme update and npm listing)
