WHAT IS IPFS? • InterPlanetary File System = IPFS • A global “Commons Network” — anyone can help host it peer-to-peer: run a server on your desktop, a RPi, or in the cloud • Files don’t have locations — they have content addresses, or content “IDs” == CID • Works like BitTorrent plus Git — every directory & file broken into smaller blocks, all with CIDs, anyone can stream blocks to the file requester • Find out more: ProtoSchool https://proto.school/ 13
HOW DOES FISSION USE IPFS? • IPFS content addressing is extremely important for us • Portable data, not tied to any app or service • Webnative API helps run IPFS in the browser • Data is synced to your browser, and published out natively over IPFS • Web Native File System (WNFS) built on top as a public + private/encrypted file system • Working on WNDB: potential for a global linked database • We want to make IPFS boring 14
FISSION SYS TEM DIAGRAM • Fission Web API (Haskell) • Auth Lobby Web App (Elm) • Fission CLI (Haskell) • Drive Web App (Elm) • Integrations, eg. Publish action on Github, Heroku Add-On, etc. 15
FISSION DRIVE • Default WNFS file browser • Users can view App Data • Encrypted by default, public folder is available unencrypted with direct IPFS links • Works offline • https://drive.fission.codes 16
