ipfs VS Cytoscape.js

I don't mind pinning, but back in the day I was having issues using IPFS to transfer small files between devices. I admit I haven't investigated to see if the problems were ever resolved.

I've been watching https://github.com/ipfs/helia which is going to replace https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs and hoping they can get an IPFS node working in the browser.

I haven't tried https://js.ipfs.tech/ (js-ipfs) in a while, what is the state of it?

On the topic of IPFS, but also slightly tangential -- how has nobody written an Activity Pub client/server in Javascript and distributed it as a Browser Addon?

If IPFS can be literally hosted via a Firefox Extension[1], how has nobody done the same for an arguably easier protocol like Activity Pub?

If you can load them up in js-ipfs that might be better?

Store the content in ipfs and just put the hash in the URL? I haven't used https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs in this capacity but I'm under the impression that that's what it's supposed to do.

js.ipfs.tech

You need an import statement instead of require since Node has upgraded to the new module system. Use import * as IPFS from 'ipfs-core'. Read more here: https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs

Please take a look at https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs/blob/master/docs/core-api/FILES.md for more understanding

You could include js-ipfs[0] and fetch all your resources from IPFS without going through a gateway. However, this approach would make the site fully dependent on JavaScript.

A PWA with a Service Worker could perhaps implement its own client-side "gateway", translating public gateway URLs into direct IPFS access. Without the Service Worker (or without JS) it would fall back to using the gateway.

Of course,You can try it out. You can create some Hash to IPFS from this link Adding data to IPFS https://js.ipfs.io/ and then browse the hash in https://ipfs-gateway.cloud/ It is directly connected to IPFS Node.

This could be probably done with https://js.cytoscape.org/ as well, so maybe look into that.

Maybe look into Cytoscape.js... There's a react wrapper component: https://github.com/plotly/react-cytoscapejs

The UI is almost entirely based on Cytoscape JS, which is one of the most use graph libraries out there (and for good reason, I've found it very good). The UI is similar to some other JavaScript libraries that deal with visualisation of network models, so it ends up being similar to most examples of Neo4j dashboards, D3, etc.

Relationship graphs are created using Cytoscape.js

I am playing with an app built around cytoscape.js for visualizing graphs. That means adding/removing nodes, responding to node events and so on.

Data source: DB of tutorials and tags. I created the skills map of collective knowledge shows a number of tutorials uploaded by users. It is illustrated the topics of user-generated content. Size of stars is a number of tutorials on the topic. The bigger the star — the more popular skill. The more connection a skill has — the more essential and versatile it is. After the login, this map becomes personalized for every user in accordance with the uploaded tutorials. All skills are combined into 6 specializations (science, sign, people, tech, art, business). Some topics are repeated in several specializations, for instance, "soft skills." Tool: Cytograph.js Layout: Cise layout Interactive version is here https://unschooler.me/skills

> Yeah, I know there's D3.js but that involved way more knowledge and learning than I was interested in.

Same, d3 looked very powerful but had a steep learning curve. I was looking for something simple to generate process trees in real time and ended up using cytoscape js [0], helped me have a working POC in an hour, highly recommended.

Well, I'll write the post on how it was created. In short, the visualization itself is mostly a https://js.cytoscape.org/ with a few custom CSS options. The hardest thing was to figure out how to prepare the data.We had at the row data:

I’m a huge fan of Cytoscape.js. Not sure if it would be a competitor to Gephi as it’s just a JavaScript library but it’s very useful for things one might use D3 for. Not too not does it have the ability to draw, style, and animate the networks it has all the graph algorithms to do the analysis and traversal.
