Open call for developers
We welcome you to implement the IPNS-Link project, especially the Gateway, in a proper server-side language - be it Go, JS, Rust, Ruby, Python - whatever you are good at. The existing prototype, in the spirit of playful experimentation, has been rather hurriedly hacked in Bash 🙈. Thankfully, it works! But of course, we need to evolve.

A few notes on IPNS-Link-Gateways and www.ipns.live
Due to a full go-ipfs node at its core, long running Gateways at small VM (virtual machine)s (with 1GB RAM) might suffer from periodic OOM (Out-Of-Memory) outages. Periodic restarts are enough to get around this. ipns.live currently restarts hourly causing just a few seconds downtime every hour. This memory leak issue will be fixed with future go-ipfs releases or in future implementations of IPNS-Link-Gateway.
