Can/does this chrome extension launch IPFS daemon ? #14

Closed RossRogers closed 7 years ago

RossRogers commented 7 years ago

Forgive me if this is already implemented, but does this extension actually launch an IPFS daemon? Is this possible within the chrome extension framework? It'd really be cool to have this extension be a one-stop shop for IPFS. If this is possible, do you have any pointers on how one would do this with the code base?

Right now every browser add-on assumes you are running IPFS daemon on your own (eg. go-ipfs).

There is an ongoing discussion about embedding and running js-ipfs within browser extension at: https://github.com/ipfs/ipfs-companion/issues/248

Ok, it looks like that's where the discussion is. Closing this issue.
