I accidentaly stumbled upon this newish browser (even has IPFS support) called LibreWeb Any thoughts ?
I like the idea but it doesn’t seem incredibly usable rn
It not only supports IPFS, it is “built on top of” it, according to the website.
This makes me wonder if it’s usable for regular web browsing or only IPFS sites. The latter would sort of make it a splinternet browser, and way less interesting.
It’s definitely the latter. The sites it renders are just markdown files stored on the IPFS network. I don’t think it can render HTML let alone a modern web app on the internet
I do love markdown files myself, so a browser-side parser is very interesting. Definitely skips some Jekyll/Hugo exports 🙂
Limiting that feature to IPFS is sort of one sided for my taste, though.
What is IPFS?
InterPlanetary File-System basically an upgraded version of torrenting
This is the de-mozillaed Firefox right? I’ve heard of it recently too. IPFS sounds really cool but isn’t it a dud because it uses a singular gateway or something?
No, you’re thinking of LibreWolf. This is like an IPFS browser that interprets markdown to render simple sites within the IPFS network
If you have a moment, could you enlighten me as to what this singular gateway LibreWolf uses refers to per the top level users comment? Thanks.
They weren’t talking about LibreWolf when making the comment about the singular gateway, they were talking about IPFS. But it’s right there, you can read it again. Or even ask the original commenter, either by directly replying to them or by tagging them, e.g. @ComradeMiao@lemmy.world can you answer @golden_zealot@lemmy.ml’s question?
Now Markdown needs a decent spec, but that is cool
I always forget, is CommonMark good enough? Like with table and image support?
