Got a quick IPFS question!

What's the easiest way to push a JSON object to IPFS? Bonus points if:
- I don't have to upload to a personal storage folder(eg. how lots of IPFS content for NFT collections are stored)
- I can create a DAG of files to store the update stream for a particular file

Programmatically or something that you can do manually?

Programmatically as opposed to using a product interface

The trick here:
- saving the CIDs(you're not using a DB so you need somewhere to list what CIDs you've created/some way to query and identify these CIDs)
- programmatically creating a DAG using the CIDs(eg. could use this to show a file's edit history)

Also this is just for storing files I create myself, not looking for the next web3 database(like hubs for storing other relational data, built in identity, etc) — although separately that’s something I really want one day

Maybe IPFS doesn’t work well for this use case yet or you’d need other plugins/a local DB layer

But it would be very very cool if this was possible

All good, I appreciate you jumping in the convo! 🙌

Gotcha, I can’t help then, I know some website that allows you to upload it
