Reach out to other IPFS file sharing services #52

Closed olizilla closed 4 years ago

olizilla commented 5 years ago

The purpose of this app is to demonstrate a friendly UX for sharing files via IPFS, and integrate it with the Web UI. We want to be able to capture a users intention to share a specific CID, so we can enable features like "ask friends to pin" and "inform how many peers are co-hosting".

However, there are other IPFS based file sharing apps already out there, and if we include one from Web UI which is bundled with IPFS, we may impact on the number of people using third party services for the same thing.

We need to reach out to the developers of these apps to understand their situation and work with them to release this app as a collaboration with them, rather than in competition.
