Pear platform facilitates direct deployment of applications from the developer’s machine to the user, enabling seamless scalability and performance. By leveraging Node.js-based technology akin to Bit Torrent, we create robust peer-to-peer connections and data replication systems that set the foundation for a decentralized web.
