Skynet Developer Documentation

Depends on the application. You can launch a client rendered website on Skynet with great ease. Literally drag and drop your web app and its deployed on a decentralized network. Then just setup domain pointers HNS, ENS and your good to go.

https://siasky.net/ and https://docs.siasky.net/

IPFS has chosen an architecture which fundamentally keeps it non-performant, Skynet is built from the ground up in a different way, and gets 10-100x improvements on performance for content-addressed links, and 100-1000x improvements on performance for dynamic lookups (IPNS)

From a developer's guide on how to operate a portal:

I am not sure if you are aware, but in case you or anyone reading aren't, Skynet and Handshake have been partners for over a year and has full compatibility not only as a decentralized domain service for Skynet sites and apps, but it also works with Homescreen. Give it ago by typing sky-os.hns or riftapp.hns in the Homescreen search bar to install the app. Ethereum Name Service (ENS) and IPFS domains are also compatible with homescreen for those developers that prefer to use those.

There are storage services like Skynet or Filebase that operate on the sia decentralized network that can offer blob/bucket and host applications for a full cdn, but the real innovation is decentralized front ends. Checkout https://homescreen.hns.siasky.net/ its near trivial for developers to copy existing apps to add additional redundancy for circumstances like this.

To begin actually using Skynet as a user however, Homescreen is where you want to start. To begin click the "Authenticate with MySky" button in the top right. A popup window will appear with the option to "Sign Up" at the bottom. Once you have clicked "Sign Up" a MySky account will be created for you, and you will be given a 15 word seed phrase. This seed phrase is now your password to **everything** you accesses on Skynet. So make sure to write down you seed phrase and store it in a safe location. It would also be helpful to sign up for a password manager like Bitwarden so you can securely access your MySky seed from any device. Once you have stored your seed in a safe place, you can click "Sign Up" to complete your account creation. Once completed you will then see your Homescreen with a couple apps preinstalled for you and you can begin using Skynet as it was intended to be.

> I want Web 3.0 to get interoperability back. We badly need commonly accepted standards and decentralized protocols

Check out Homescreen: https://homescreen.hns.siasky.net/

It's a decentralized front-end in a decentralized cloud for Web3.0 apps.

You can already do this on https://homescreen.hns.siasky.net

If you want to see just why I mean by works, go set yourself up a Homescreen account and give it a try. Once you have one set try installing some apps. Also make sure to try out SkyOS
