Ipfs Alternatives

ipfs reviews and mentions

• Amino – The Public IPFS DHT Is Getting a Facelift
  8 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 3 Oct 2023

  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.

• IPFS as traffic spike deterrent
  1 project | /r/ipfs | 4 Jun 2023

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

• Activity Pub vs. Web Frameworks
  2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 5 Mar 2023

  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?

• Opinion about an application built using IPFS
  1 project | /r/ipfs | 3 Mar 2023

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

• How to store your app's entire state in the url
  17 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 9 Jan 2023

  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.

• I wish I could "seed" a server like a torrent, has there been any work to make this possible?

• Paying with Node.js
  1 project | /r/ipfs | 7 Oct 2022

  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

• Generating a CID on the frontend, and then passing the files to the backend to be pinned.

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

• Public CDNs Are Useless and Dangerous
  4 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 9 Jun 2022

  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.

• IPFS-GATEWAY.CLOUD IPFS GATEWAY for Decentralized Internet
  2 projects | /r/ipfs | 29 May 2022

  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.
