Dat Slideshow
Andrew from the Secure Scuttlebutt community put together a presentation application using the Dat APIs in Beaker. Their description: "The idea is to allow people to quickly create a deck of slides that could be shared during or at the end of talks and presentations over the local network. The link below should work in beaker browser whilst I am online so anyone can fork it and create their own presentation with it." Check out the post about it on Secure Scuttlebutt: %JMkASE4Crf6m204yyDmeD2YxtFwfDnVeRM9zA7UFsYE=.sha256 or load it in Beaker directly: dat://7bbc546b3318114cba409c383a1d8dfe4b48081f5cdde7a05e0ab961a3904dcd/

Publishing the Cargo registry on Dat
Agent of User has been experimenting with mirroring Rust crates (modules) from creates.io (kinda like Rust's version of NPM) through Dat and IPFS. You can help the effort by seeding the Dat archive, or contributing to the effort. dat://91067272f618b28f22c02a6f95089e9ffbf120016d8f1023ad74575bd03d77ca
