Topsoil : 10mins : Brandon
Topsoil, our next generation collaboration platform, is our future. Topsoil is a distributed application that runs on top of the Bedrock Network of servers and web clients.
- User interacts with standard web client that may or may not have the GreenThumb(browser plugin) installed.
- Web client interacts with a Bedrock server that may be hosted by us or running on their local machine as a proxy daemon.
- Bedrock servers use the Seismic protocol to communicate user actions between Bedrock servers.
