Here's one reason it's so great to build on IPFS (even if people don't notice it). The version history for sites is effectively built-in on Orbiter:

We launched private IPFS this week. It allows you to manage your crypto files privately while retaining the best parts of IPFS. It's pretty neat.

IPCM for Solana is here! 🎉 It's still in it's infancy so if there's any true Solana developers would love your feedback and contributions to make this more robust vs my feeble attempts to port this from Solidity 😅

Like IPFS and Solana? Give our repo a test run!

The wayback machine is an incredible tool. Archiving the internet is important work. But what if it were easier? What if it happened automatically and anyone could participate? Behind the scenes, that’s what we are enabling with https://orbiter.host 

By using Base and IPFS, every site and its versions are archived.

I published IPCM.dev during the holiday craze and I finally had a moment to write a proper blog post about it; check it out!

Quick blog post on how we’re using IPFS and Base to power static website hosting 🌐🔵

Blockchain and IPFS don’t have to be shoved in every user’s face to be effective. This is a great post on the technical details of how we use Base and IPFS. But if you use Orbiter, you don’t NEED to see any of it.

Blockchain and web3 tech generally is most useful to a larger number of people when it operates behind the scenes. Just like the cloud. 

That’s why we built Orbiter the way we did. It’s backed by the Base blockchain and IPFS. Everything is open and portable. Anyone can index their sites and site history or anyone else’s. 

But if you use Orbiter, you’ll see that it’s just dead-simple drag and drop website deployment. That’s how it should be.

Can't wait to share what @polluterofminds and I have been cooking over the last week or two 🌌

Not only is it cool, but it uses blockchain and IPFS behind the scenes so it’s extra cool.

Today I'm excited to release IPCM: InterPlanetary CID Mapping, a smart contract solution for dynamic IPFS data. 

IPCM is a simple smart contract that stores an IPFS CID reference which anyone can read but owner the owner of the contract can update it. 

Something we encountered quite a bit at Pinata is user frustration with updating content on IPFS. For images or json files it just meant re-uploading the file and getting a new CID. However for websites shared on IPFS it was way worse. Today solutions like IPNS exist but prove to be slow, complicated, and lack an accessible history. 

With IPCM you can update the CID reference on the contract, then anyone can read it. The contract uses the Ownable extension so only the owner of the contract can write to it, giving a level of identity tied to the content being updated. There is also an event fired every time the content is updated, so if indexed with a tool like Ponder you can have an onchain version history.

IPCM is MIT licensed and open sourced

I heard you like IPFS. What if you could make IPFS mutable but auditable onchain?

If every website were deployed to IPFS and referenced onchain, the competitive environment for both AI and search would go through the roof because the data is so much easier to index by almost anyone.

Anyone remember this? https://github.com/musteka-la/mustekala/issues/4

🚨we've been cooking! LAUNCH: Srcbook online app builder ✨

Here's a wild idea: What if you could build web apps as easily as you design in Figma or edit a Google Doc?

Enter Srcbook.

We’ve reimagined app development for the AI era. You can turn your ideas into working web apps, whether you know how to code or not!

Want to launch that app idea? Need to build something for your community? Looking to prototype faster? Start here. We’ve removed the barriers between idea and execution, and it feels like magic!

For a (very) limited time, this is FREE (for you, not us). So you can just go and build apps at your heart’s content, right now. What exactly are you waiting for!?

Our mission is to empower everyone to build for the web. Start prototyping, building, and launching today at https://srcbook.com.
