The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Websites exposed using IPNS-Link
IPNS-Link is a recent project that makes dynamic websites addressable with IPNS. Exposed websites can be accessed at `/ipns/IPNSKeyID`. Can we welcome such websites too in this subreddit?

Introducing IPNS-Link
Despair not. IPNS-Link gives you the following alternative.

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.

Optional end-to-end encryption
We have decided to implement, in near future, an optional SSL/TLS passthrough mode at least for the registered public gateways. HTTPS requests made using this mode, cannot be inspected by the gateways, making the Browser to Origin route end-to-end encrypted.

A few notes on IPNS-Link-Gateways and www.ipns.live
This is our ofiicial public gateway registry. You shall find all public IPNS-Link-Gateways we know of here.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing specs and gateway-registry you can also consider the following projects:
ipns-link - Expose local http-servers (web-apps) through IPNS-Link
torsocks - Library to torify application - NOTE: upstream has been moved to https://gitweb.torproject.org/torsocks.git
ipns-link-gateway - Access http-servers (web-apps) exposed using IPNS-Link
