Pear loads applications remotely from peers and allows anyone to create and share applications with peers.
Pear by Holepunch is a combined Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Runtime, Development & Deployment tool.
Build, share & extend unstoppable, zero-infrastructure P2P applications for Desktop, Terminal & Mobile.
Welcome to the Internet of Peers

The essential building blocks for building powerful P2P applications using Pear.
Helper modules can be used together with the building blocks to create cutting-edge P2P tools and applications.
The following tools are used extensively employed in the day-to-day development and operation of applications built on Pear.

Throughout the documentation, indications of stability are provided. Some modules are well-established and used widely, making them highly unlikely to ever change. Other modules may be new, experimental, or known to have risks associated with their use.
The following stability indices have been used:
: A peer-to-peer chat and video-conferencing application with end-to-end encryption.
: Cross-platform "Hello World" Pear application for Android and iOS.
: Reference applications for using Bare runtime on Android and iOS.
: Example application for building Pear applications using React framework.
stable
Unlikely to change or be removed in the foreseeable future.
experimental
New, untested, or have known issues.
deprecated
Being removed or replaced in the future.
unstable
May change or be removed without warning.
A distributed, secure append-only log for creating fast and scalable applications without a backend, as it is entirely P2P.
stable
An append-only B-tree running on a Hypercore. Allows sorted iteration and more.
