Can I have the ipsurge npm package? #111

Closed fiatjaf closed 6 years ago

fiatjaf commented 6 years ago

I'm developing a competitor to ipscend which is obviously destined to fail since ipscend has much more glamour... -- ok, it's better to say I'm developing a program inspired by ipscend at https://github.com/fiatjaf/ipsurge and I've noticed the npm package ipsurge is abandoned and pointing to this repository. Is there a chance you'll give it to me or should I start thinking about a different name?

Thanks!

Hi @fiatjaf! Thanks for reaching out. As you might have noticed, I've had little time to devote to ipscend/ipsurge but the dream and desire to make it a super useful tool remains.

Would you like to join forces and build a awesome project for the IPFS community and help everyone publish their websites to the DWeb?

Of course I would like to join forces, but joining forces is sometimes too complicated in comparison with just developing stuff by myself... What do you propose?

My ipsurge does these things differently from ipscend:

  1. It allows for files to be ignored using a gitignore-like file;
  2. It manages keys and publishes hashes to /ipns automatically;
  3. It allows for a quick visualization of the site on /ipfs before publishing to /ipns;
  4. It doesn't have the screenshot stuff, which although nice adds too much overhead to a tool that should be small and simple.

Actually, I think these efforts can be abandoned as it is better and easier to just use MFS for all your IPFS site needs.
