awesome-ipfs - Useful resources for using IPFS and building things on top of it

This list is for projects, tools, or pretty much any things related to IPFS that are totally awesome. This is for products which are already awesome - if you have plans for cool stuff to do with IPFS, you should build it, and then link it here. If you have an idea for an awesome thing to do with IPFS, a good place to ask about it might be in ipfs/apps or ipfs/notes.These are narrowly-scoped, little JS "apps" deployed through IPFS.

Embark - Framework for serverless Decentralized Applications using Ethereum, IPFS and other platforms

•    Javascript

Embark is a framework that allows you to easily develop and deploy Decentralized Applications (DApps).

A distributed, serverless, peer-to-peer chat application on IPFS. Status: Hold. Work on Orbit Chat is largely in other repositories, at the moment. This may change in the future.

orbit-db - Peer-to-Peer Databases for the Decentralized Web

•    Javascript

OrbitDB is a serverless, distributed, peer-to-peer database. OrbitDB uses IPFS as its data storage and IPFS Pubsub to automatically sync databases with peers. It's an eventually consistent database that uses CRDTs for conflict-free database merges making OrbitDB an excellent choice for decentralized apps (dApps), blockchain applications and offline-first web applications.

ipfspics-server - Content-addressable, peer-to-peer method of storing and sharing images on the internet

•    PHP

ipfs.pics is a open-source and distributed image hosting website. It aims to be an alternative to non-libre image hosting websites such as imgur, flickr and others. It is based on IPFS - the InterPlanetary File System. The whole application runs on the concept of peer to peer connections, which means that instead of hosting the information in a single location, our servers, the data is stored by everyone who wants to. When a picture is put on IPFS, it is given a hash, a 46 characters long digital fingerprint. No other file will have it and if the same file is added twice then their hashes will be exactly the same, which means the picture can still be found on the network simply by knowing the hash, even if our website is down. You can find the hash at the end of a picture URL, just like below.

ipfs-companion - Browser extension that simplifies access to IPFS resources on the web

•    Javascript

IPFS Companion harnesses the power of your locally running IPFS node (either through the IPFS Desktop app or the command-line daemon) directly inside your favorite Chromium-based or Firefox browser, enabling support for ipfs:// addresses, automatic IPFS gateway loading of websites and file paths, easy IPFS file import and sharing, and more. IPFS is a peer-to-peer hypermedia protocol designed to make the web faster, safer, more resilient, and more open. It enables the creation and dissemination of completely distributed sites and applications that don’t rely on centralized hosting and stay true to the original vision of an open, flat web. Visit the IPFS Project website to learn more.

Peergos - A decentralised, secure file storage and social network

•    Java

Peergos is a peer-to-peer encrypted filesystem with secure sharing of files designed to be resistant to surveillance of data content or friendship graphs. It will have a secure email replacement, with some interoperability with email. There will also be a totally private and secure social network, where users are in control of who sees what (executed cryptographically). The name Peergos comes from the Greek word Πύργος (Pyrgos), which means stronghold or tower, but phonetically spelt with the nice connection to being peer-to-peer. Pronuniation: peer-goss (as in gossip).

openbazaar-go - OpenBazaar 2.0 Server Daemon in Go

•    Go

This repository contains the OpenBazaar server daemon which handles the heavy lifting for the OpenBazaar desktop application. The server combines several technologies: A modified IPFS node, which itself combines ideas from Git, BitTorrent, and Kademlia. A lightweight SPV Bitcoin wallet for interacting with the Bitcoin network. And a JSON API which can be used by a user interface to control the node and browse the network. If you are looking for the OpenBazaar user interface code see here.A typical install of OpenBazaar contains a bundle of the server daemon and user interface. If this is what you are looking for you can find an installer at https://openbazaar.org/download.html. If you are looking to run the server daemon by itself or to contribute to developement see below for instructions.
