First Beta Release

This is an old version. Please use the latest release

This release is beta, and its purpose is to validate the main concepts and collect some feedbacks/bugs. If you wants to share something, open a new issue! 👍
The app has the following basic features:

• Starts IPFS Daemon when the app is started (Configurable path for binary file)
• Connects to IPFS Daemon via https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs-api
• Sows the user the list of the pinned objects
• Adds a file by interface/buttons or drag-and-drop
• Removes objects from the UI
• Opens using browser (uses https://ipfs.io/ipfs links)
• Allows the user to save an object locally
• Adds a pinned object from hash (useful for file transfers).

More features will come, as well as support for js-ipfs instead of the API. help and feedback is needed! 😸

How to Install and use

This release has been tested on macOS, but ideally can work on Linux as well. What is needed is the IPFS binary installed. Next releases will not rely on IPFS daemon, since the javascript implementation will be used directly. If you have homebrew, you can easily do it by running:

brew install ipfs
ipfs init

Once installed, simply download the Zip file, extract it and double click on the Lumpy.app.

Note: The default path of the binary is /usr/local/bin/ipfs but it is possible to configure in the settings of the app.

Known bugs

#27 [Fixed in master] First run, the daemon won't start in background. Enable it in the settings then restart the app
#28 [Fixed in master] It is not possible to change the API address to use. This is not allowing the user to connect and manage a remote IPFS node.
