## Getting started
See [Tutorial](https://dstack.dev/docs/intro) to get started using DStack in your dapp
## Deprecation Notice
Version 0.2.x will be deprecated soon, majority of the development is moved to `next` branch.
This version will not receive any major upgrades or improvements, only minor security fixes and dependency upgrades.
## Introduction
DStack was created to bring together some of the popular libraries/technologies for the decentralized web (like [IPFS](https://ipfs.io)) into a single ecosystem to provide an easy way for developing decentralized web applications where your infrastructure is a single source of truth.
For example, you can use PubSub API to create real-time events client-side
or Shard API to share temporary/preview files or structured data between clients without the need to upload to your servers
For example, you can create a collaborative real-time WYSIWYG editor with file preview support where all events and file previews are handled without your server infrastructure.
