ipfs VS turf

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.

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.

to measure distances and convert between our parameters I'm using TurfJS, for which binding is even more trivial:

Turf.js is an open-source geospatial analysis library that can process various location data, such as the center of gravity and distance calculations.

Isochrones are manually calculated using turf.js assuming 1.2m/s walking speed after the subway trip. These are simple buffers around each station/prior isochrone and do not take the street network into account.

Not to take away from you learning, which I think is awesome, I was wondering if you know about http://turfjs.org/ which provides a lot of simple modules … and is surprisingly hard to find. Their `distance` modules may be relevant in this case.

you can use client side libraries like Turfjs to do buffers https://github.com/Turfjs/turf/tree/master/packages/turf-buffer

Tools: custom Javascript (with heavy use of turf.js) for data processing and creating the 3D model, Blender, 3D printing, lost wax casting

I've integrated https://turfjs.org/ with mapbox before and it was pretty fun
