By moving away from purely PHP-based routing, HaRP finally enables full WebSocket support for ExApps. This means real-time features like instant chat updates and collaborative whiteboarding no longer rely on inefficient "polling".
In today's digital landscape, cloud storage has become an essential tool for individuals and organizations alike. However, with the increasing concerns over data privacy and security, many users are seeking alternative solutions that offer more control and protection. This report explores the integration of HARP (Hypermedia-oriented Application Runtime Platform) and Nextcloud, a popular open-source cloud storage solution, to create a secure and private cloud storage infrastructure.
The integration of HARP and Nextcloud offers several benefits, including: The Harp Nextcloud system consists of four layers

The platform is a "Fork"—a term derived from the open-source movement where developers take existing code and take it in a new direction. Nextcloud was forked from ownCloud in 2016 by Frank Karlitsch
Nextcloud has revolutionized self-hosted collaboration, but as apps get smarter (think AI agents and real-time chat), the standard way of connecting "External Apps" (ExApps) has become a bottleneck. Enter , the new standard for Nextcloud 32+.
