Have you heard about filecoin-pin yet? docs.filecoin.io/builder-cook...

If you are using #ipfs @ipfs.tech @filecoin.global @ipshipyard.com, you should check it out. It's in alpha, but it's pretty exciting stuff!

on X: “which browser can i paste a CID into”

Wild how IPFS gets flak for not being “built into browsers,” while BitTorrent needs a client and Tor needs its own browser. UX is about the same; easier, even, with ipfs-companion or gateways. The tech isn’t the problem 😬, the expectations are. #ipfs

Another great writeup by Daniel. @ipshipyard.com has been working to improve the story for direct retrieval for browser clients. The direct retrieval experience is much better than it was 2 years ago

Oddly enough, Firefox in Playwright behaves differently on a hard refresh compared to the actual browser.

Or maybe the hack I had to do in Playwright to simulate a hard refresh is insufficient. Has anyone had to deal with this with service workers?

Is anyone interested in getting better IPFS support in HTML and browsers? The state of HTML survey is open.. we could probably mention IPFS a few times in here.. survey.devographics.com/en-US/survey...

One Redditor calls 0.36 "an amazingly huge improvement": www.reddit.com/r/ipfs/comme...

If your kubo node talks to the public network, it's probably worth the upgrade!

So many opportunities with IPFS and js-libp2p are still unexplored.. Daniel pumped out a useful little tool and talks about it here. Version management of your IPFS sites is super cool

follow @norman.life and @ipshipyard.com for more updates :)
IPFS launcher is an experimental browser extension with local pet names, version management, smart CID discovery, and gateway management.

Run an IPFS node, or verified-fetch/ipget/boxo/lassie/etc if you need non-browser support..

otherwise, use inbrowser.link!

what if IPNS could be multi-peer controlled via threshold signatures? no key sharing, no blockchain, still valid on old IPFS nodes.

anyone want DAO-owned / multi-party updatable IPNS names?

Hosting an http server inside js-libp2p, inside a browser, and fetching it from another js-libp2p node, in the browser is currently blowing my mind with possibilities.
