I think it'd have to be saved statically. Which actually makes this question interesting: How do you store comments on an IPFS site? Constantly updating a single file on IPFS?
- dredmorbius 10y agoInteresting question. I know nothing about IPFS other than what I've read in the past five minutes on Wikipedia, but: 1. HTML wants badly for a nested relational document format. Essentially tin or mutt's "in reply to" and "references" headers. 2. A comments stream is a) a parent document to which b) multiple child documents, themselves possibly having c) parent-child relationships, d) are associated. Rather than thinking of "threaded discussion == single document" think "threaded discussion == a set of related documents". That gives the option of having a discussion "occurring" across multiple sites, with some form of trust, whitelist, blacklist, or other mechanisms for reflecting what you do or don't include in the discussion. Individual comments, as their own docs, could also be freestanding instances. Finding children from the parent becomes an interesting question. There's also the matter of versioning a document. Tying a git-like capability to this could be interesting.
