Welcome to saffron's docs! Saffron was built to help teams collect and compile huge lists of aggregated news and announcement content intuitively and efficiently.
Saffron is currently under development and is soon to be released as a public alpha release. It will soon support decentralized data collection by utilizing separate scaping nodes (a.k.a workers), connected together via multiplex peer-2-peer IPFS connections.
Saffron's architecture is based on a main node that issues scraping instructions and several worker nodes that do the scraping & upload the data to the offload database.
The term offload database is used here because saffron has 2 separate databases. One for saving the articles it collects - namely offload database- and one to sync the scraping jobs between its worker nodes, namely the grid (because it sounds cool).
