Is this one of the first examples of an IPFS-based API? This is very cool.
I like that you can take something that is effectively on your disk, ping some endpoint, and it will get "pulled" by the service as a peer and process it.
Next step could be to make the "ping" step as an IPFS pubsub thing.
- diggan 8y agoNo, I don't think it's the first example. https://www.eternum.io/ https://www.eternum.io/ was one that was before, but I'm sure there are others. We keep a list of some applications and other things over here too: https://awesome.ipfs.io/ https://awesome.ipfs.io/
- shazow 8y ago"One of" :) I'd argue eternum is not quite at the same level since it just takes an IPFS object as an input (but no IPFS output). Op made a thing that takes an IPFS object as an input and produces a different IPFS object as an output. There are certainly many IPFS-based apps.
- StavrosK 8y agoI would agree with this, Eternum isn't so much an IPFS-based API as an API for helping with IPFS pinning. I'd say IPFessay (https://gitlab.com/stavros/IPFessay https://gitlab.com/stavros/IPFessay) is much closer to an IPFS-based API, since it can run entirely on IPFS with no outside servers.
