Over the last weeks I have started to explore IPFS more seriously. IPFS, the Inter-Planetary File System, is supposed to be the next-generation Web: a decentralized content-addressed database.
Since there is nothing better then Pharo for exploring databases, I have started to write an IPFS interface to Pharo:
https://github.com/khinsen/ipfs-pharo <https://github.com/khinsen/ipfs-pharo>
It connects to a local IPFS server, so you have to have one running. It's surprisingly straightforward to install and configure, unless you have to fight with firewalls that block IPFS traffic.
Great work ! I think Marcus was interested to have something like that.
yes! IPFS has nice properties for many things⦠e.g. one simple things to try is to distribute images via IPFS⦠it has all the propose of Bittorrent for that. Imagine your case in Africa⦠very nice for that already. Marcus
