short answer: hypersnap is a data layer, not heroku for your backend.
eli5: hypersnap is a fork of snapchain (farcaster’s p2p storage layer). it stores and replicates fc data across nodes so no single server owns the truth. think “shared notebook everyone can read/write,” not “server that runs your api.”
so will it host your backend? afaict, no.
it can store protocol data and maybe app data that fits its model.
you still run your own backend logic, db, cron jobs, secrets, etc.
it’s infra for data availability + decentralization.
you’re still the chef; hypersnap just runs the fridge.
