  1. public-gateway-checker

    Checks which public gateways are online or not

    const isIpfsGatewayAvailable = (gatewayUrl: string): Promise => new Promise((resolve) => { const timeoutId = window.setTimeout( () => resolve(false), 1000 ); const img = new Image(); img.addEventListener("load", () => { window.clearTimeout(timeoutId); resolve(true); }); img.addEventListener("error", () => { window.clearTimeout(timeoutId); resolve(false); }); img.src = `${gatewayUrl.replace( "", // https://github.com/ipfs/public-gateway-checker/blob/master/src/constants.ts "bafybeibwzifw52ttrkqlikfzext5akxu7lz4xiwjgwzmqcpdzmp3n5vnbe" )}?now=${Date.now()}&filename=1x1.png#x-ipfs-companion-no-redirect`; });

  3. daedalOS

    Desktop environment in the browser

    I've been wanting to dip my toes into the Web 3.0 verse for a while now, specifically with an integration into my side project, a Desktop environment in the browser (daedalOS).

  4. file-type

    Detect the file type of a file, stream, or data

    I've also added file type detection so it can try to open the url in the correct app. This is done using the library file-type.

  5. multihash-serialise

    Haskell libraries for interacting with IPFS (by monadic-xyz)

    I've decided as a first step I would add ipfs native url support. I've added this support to the Browser (Demo), Run Dialog, Shortcuts & Terminal. Most of the main ipfs functions I've migrated to utils/ipfs.ts.
