Gun is currently a pile of shit. Anyone saying otherwise hasn't used it. The sole founder and developer is a very nice person, but it's the reality of Gun tech right now.
Could you expand further what didn't work? We have some pretty heavy load in-production systems running. Definitely some rough edges still, so I'd like to hear what problems you had, so I can focus on fixing them in the future.
It was a month ago I checked it out and it just wasn't usable - i do not remember the details but even basic things did not work. I had a json dataset i just wanted in a local db, and that was proving challenging for simple operations is what I remember, didn't even get into the p2p side yet. If I remember correctly, it wasn't returning accurate results when queried.
try creating a youtube video of getting it to work from scratch, reading and writing data and i think you will see the problems. Or maybe ask a friend that is less familiar than yourself to try it, the problems seemed rather obvious as it just didn't work for a basic use case.
If you ever have time, it'd be great to snag whatever code or data you had, to create a replicable test case for us to make a fix against. Sorry about the wasted time you experienced, I hate that.
