If you store your webapp on IPFS, and connect to the blockchain. Then its truly decentralized.
We need browsers to support IPFS... Even when blockchain fails, IPFS will be a big. Especially if we are going to be a multi-planetary species.

- matthewaveryusa 5y agoActually browsers don't need any new features. All you need is a proxy that can decide to fetch resources on www vs. ipfs. I did a small PoC with mitmproxy where if the subdomain is ipfs I fetch the resource from ipfs instead of the web. worked great, also worked without the proxy because I hosted it on the www as well. I also did a youtube-dl proxy: First time it goes to youtube and in the background I fire up youtube-dl and cache the content. on subsequent requests I serveup a minimal html site with the local video downloaded. The only thing about mitmproxy is it can be a bit slow.
- TeeWEE 5y agoYou mean a local proxy? That makes sense. Should be part of the OS then ;-)
