IPFS Project Roadmap

The IPFS client is such an untunable memory hog that I turn it off whenever I'm not using it (which, of course, defeats the entire purpose). I would be ecstatic if we had something like the old uTorrent, but for IPFS. A nice UI, easy configuration, an ultralight implementation. It would be a dream come true.

Exactly this: such an ultralight, accessible implementation would make it better suitable to run on embedded devices and mobile phones. And since we still live in as fairly disconnected world this is probably an area where IPFS can accelerate.

I kind of made this https://github.com/hsanjuan/ipfs-lite

May not be ultralight (running a DHT node isn't, but it does remove a lot of crust).

We live in the world of NATs that effectively prevents any p2p networks.

What about Transmission? It seems much less bloated in comparison to uTorrent.

I mean an IPFS client, not a torrent client. There are hundreds of those.

When you say nice UI, do you mean a GUI?

Yes, to make it more accessible.
