Ask HN: Is anyone using IPFS for a production level product?
A few years ago IPFS seemed to the up and coming peer-to-peer content addressed technology. It seemed like it solved a number of problems of the current web architecture and opened new frontiers of what could be done. However while I see the project is still active developed I was wondering if anyone here has actually done anything serious with it and if so, how did it work out for you?
- KomoD 2y ago> It seemed like it solved a number of problems of the current web architecture and opened new frontiers of what could be done. What problems have they solved in your opinion?
- IgorPartola 2y agoDecentralization and content-based addressing, mainly.
- vrighter 2y agoThose weren't problems that needed solving. They are just the features that the software implements. What I mean is that if it did solve a problem, it'd be used more widely. It offers some features that aren't really all that useful to the majority of people. So it's solving a problem most people simply don't have.
- ErikBjare 2y agoWe already had those.
- kirakiray 2y agoPreviously, my product was going to use ipfs for a purpose similar to cdn. But its use threshold is high, and users must install a client or browser plug-in to use it.
