I would have preferred IPFS to do the storage and propagation of data really well and not implemented stuff like IPNS in the core. To me this should be a separate codebase. And I see this in other features they have been including too. I'm using IPFS quite heavily to store content generated on https://pollinations.ai https://pollinations.ai but there is no way I could run it without a centralized node that I have control over at the moment because otherwise it would just be painfully slow and unusable. I love the idea of content addressed decentralized data. I have no real use for IPNS at the moment and many of the other features of the core IPFS stack.

Have you had a chance to try Skynet? It provides all of the same features as IPFS, but it's also a lot more performant and higher uptime. You wouldn't need a centralized node that you run yourself.

  Do you have any good links to Skynet? I could just find an old GitHub repo. Is it in active use ?

    Check out the pinned repos: https://github.com/SkynetLabs https://github.com/SkynetLabs Also https://docs.siasky.net/ https://docs.siasky.net/ Very much an actively developed project, with over 100,000 monthly active users.

      The second link claims that it will store data without payment and allow extracting money in the future, with 0 mention of who is paying for the space. This is so suspicious that I almost cannot believe this is not addressed immediately.

        Skynet operates on a freemium model where users get 20mbps and 100 GB of storage for free and significantly more if they pay (80mbps and 1 TB for $5/mo). This is what pays the bills, and also how things stay pinned.

I haven't used IPFS so I was trying to see what the IPFS image URL would look like but when I tried to inspect the images using (right click -> inspect element), Chrome selects the whole division tab (class=MuiCardContent-root) in the Elements tab in web console. I found that it's happening because of (style="pointer-events: none;"). When this style attribute is removed from web console, I'm able to inspect individual elements like image, paragraph correctly. Just out of curiosity, do you know why (style="pointer-events: none;") is used here?
