Show HN: A website that converts any IPFS file to HLS and reups it to IPFS

The thing that doesn't make sense to me is that you say any file but then seem to be doing video-specific stuff to it. So did you mean to say any _video_ file?

Also, what is HLS?

HLS is HTTP Live Streaming, an open, pure-http approach to live streaming video with support for adaptive bitrate delivery. first popularized on iOS circa 2008 as an alternative to Flash and other proprietary streaming systems.

He's referring to the title which says it "converts _any_ IPFS file".

The OP also asked 'Also, what is HLS?'

Yes you're absolutely right. I just changed the description on the website.
