that, you cannot

  Do you now for certain? Because both the parent post and the repo seems to indicate otherwise and the only reason I ask is because that sounds a little to amazing.

    No, the person does not know it for certain. You're correct that it does connect to "the real ipfs network". And you're right that it is amazing!

      Thanks for clarifying! And thanks for working on this project!
• diggan 9y ago
  Yes, you can. Please try to make sure the information you write is correct. Quick look at the repository I linked above would have made this clear.

    What part of the repository says this? I'm having trouble imaginging how it would work, unless the mainstream IPFS network now supports WebRTC?

      Looking at the readme, I noticed our examples our not as featured as I thought so sorry for the harshness. But following the link to the examples, leads to a example called "Tutorial - Transfer files between the browser and other IPFS nodes" which explains how you can connect a js-ipfs node with other nodes, like go-ipfs that runs on desktop. Link: https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs/tree/master/examples/exchange-files-in-browser https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs/tree/master/examples/exchang... go-ipfs, which I guess you refer to with the mainstream network, has support for websockets which the browser nodes has support for as well, so they can interop.
