Feel free to go deeper and see the implementations we are using in the [Dat command-line tool](https://github.com/datproject/dat) and the [Dat Desktop](https://github.com/datproject/dat-desktop). -Dat embraces the Unix philosophy: a modular design with composable parts. All of the pieces can be replaced with alternative implementations as long as they implement the abstract API. +Dat embraces the Unix philosophy: a modular design with composable parts. All of the pieces can be replaced with alternative implementations as long as they implement the abstract API. We believe this creates better end-user software, but more importantly, will create more sustainable and impactful open source tools. -## Public Interface Modules +## User Software -* [dat](https://github.com/datproject/dat) - the command line interface for sharing and downloading files -* [Dat Desktop](https://github.com/datproject/dat-desktop) - dat desktop application for sharing and downloading files -* [datproject.org](https://github.com/datproject/datproject.org/) - repository for the Dat project website, a public data registry and sharing -* [Dat Protocol](https://www.datprotocol.com/) - The Dat protocol specification +* [dat](https://github.com/datproject/dat) - The command line interface for Dat. +* [Dat Desktop](https://github.com/datproject/dat-desktop) - Desktop application for Dat. +* [datproject.org](https://github.com/datproject/datproject.org/) - Repository for the Dat project website, a public data registry and sharing. -## File and Block Component Modules +## Specifications -* [hyperdrive](hyperdrive) - The file sharing network dat uses to distribute files and data.
