Why the Internet Needs IPFS

Re:Why the Internet Needs IPFS by _prometheus on Sunday October 04, 2015 @07:32PM (#10329236)

(IPFS dev here) Hey! Yeah, we're focusing right now on "distributed static websites" because those are really easy to get right and make work all over the network. However, what's _really_ interesting about IPFS is making completely distributed applications which can do their process unhinged from a single origin -- websites/webapps without an origin server. Posted more about this elsewhere on this thread, take a look: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10329221

Also see the Neocities + IPFS blog post: https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmTVcD87Ecjps6wv9jMaGhvMuzZ2BgP6NyXDcnM...

Take a look also at this talk, which presents different use cases for this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skMTdSEaCtA

Can also see some of the random crazy things we're planning in https://github.com/ipfs/notes/issues/ + https://github.com/ipfs/archives/issues/ + https://github.com/ipfs/apps/issues/

(Edit: fix links)

Are you working with https://unhosted.org/ at all on the unhinged apps concept?

For some reason the links in the Neocities blog on IPFS don't work. Is there a working version of the Neocities blog on IPFS?

[Edit: this seems to be a problem with the route names on the Neocities blog, not IPFS itself]

Link to .../ipfs/notes/ appears to contain 37 bytes of nothing. Is the content available elseware? Would love to see the random crazy things you're planning.
