The focus is offline, but the underlying techniques work just as well across the public internet. For example, you could use https://www.npmjs.com/package/webrtc-swarm to sync the hyperlogs: var wswarm = require(

I think that's preferable to remembering whether any given method is in List::Moreutils, List::Util, List::AllUtils or some other package entirely. You already know the name of the method you want, why can't that be the name of th
