Architecture approach #4

Open ike opened 8 years ago

Components:

Server, stores and serves JSON blobs of IPFS hashes against a given URL
React-based JS tag that
- loads contact form and UI,
- looks up IPFS hashes from server,
- loads comments directly from IPFS if it can, else
- loads comments thru IPFS gateway

That's the direction I am currently headed in. Would love feedback if that's ill-advised. (espesh @diasdavid)

i'd really try hard to make it all in the browser. use pub/private keypairs to sign the data so people cant tamper with it.

My advice is to do 'Reads from browser directly from IPFS' and 'writes from an IPFS node you control', because you will need a node to update the IPNS records which will be the pointers for each thread. The good point of having 'Reads from IPFS', is that your server might melt, but people will still be able to read every comment, always.
