Open call for developers
For your implementation, you can follow the specs, which you are welcome to discuss, criticize, improve upon and contribute to, and reference the existing version. Once you start working on an implementation, please create an issue here to keep the community updated and to encourage collaboration. Once it's working, your implementation will be proudly featured in IPNS-Link's GitHub organization and you would receive a public membership invitation.

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.

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.
