In the first chapter of this Field Manual, we described how you might create a couple of built-in OrbitDB databases and write code to modify it.
We shall try to build on this tutorial to show you, how you can customize the built-in OrbitDB stores and indices or how you can define your own.
We have already implemented a sheet music sharing app, where musicians can upload and share their notes as files and view those of other musicians.
But what they cannot do, is cooperate with each other. And isn't it with cooperation, that the greatest strengths of the internet come to bear?
So we want to allow our users to not just share musical notes, but also comment on each others notes and discuss them.
It is not expected that you have read all of this Field Manual to understand this chapter.
But you should have read these documents before reading this chapter:
You may not need to understand entirely what
the ipfs-log is, but you should know that
it exists and that it is the basis of all OrbitDB Stores.
