I've been looking into developing distributed client-side apps for IPFS, and it would be great if we could just tap into the native IPFS DHT rather than having to depend on a separate IP-based DHT for peer discovery in our apps.
- diggan 11y agoA fully client side implementation of IPFS is in the works. Right now, you'll have to run the daemon on your server and interact with it, so not fully distributed until either the client-side implementation of IPFS is done (node-ipfs on Github/NPM) or the public gateway can accept calls from the JS api client that works in the browser too (node-ipfs-api on Github/NPM).
