Edge Studio

Edge Studio is a .NET application written in C# using the Avalonia framework. It is a desktop application that allows you to create a local Ditto Database based on a database registered in the Ditto Portal and use the Ditto SDK to query information in the Ditto Edge Server, local Edge Server, or P2P with other devices sharing the same DatabaseId.

Edge Studio can run on Windows, Linux, and macOS with the same codebase.
