• share.ipfs.io is shipped in Web UI, Desktop and Companion
• Web UI has a stable monthly release with fixes and new translations
• Web UI has a useability test plan and 5 recorded testing sessions
• Published blog posts and video explainers for Web UI and Desktop, and docs.ipfs.io recommends installing Desktop
• Web UI works with IPFS cluster and show cluster specific information.

Developers are empowered to make great new IPFS user interfaces

• There is a published UI cookbook with components and documented common api usage patterns.
• The Web UI File Browser is extracted as a standalone components that can be re-used on the gateway and other web apps.

The GUIs push forward understanding and adoption of IPFS

Pin buddy system allows friends to form ad-hoc IPFS clusters - #36

So happy to see this here. We (cluster) have allocated time to work on this during this quarter but I'm not sure we will get it to a usable state, so you may want to de-prioritize this one.

Web UI works with ipfs-cluster and shows cluster specific information

Yes! I'm going to put this in our OKRs too to make sure we can implement anything you need on our side.

2-3 minutes on Q3 scoring / review. Please focus on your high priority items, what you shipped, and learnings.

• https://explore.ipld.io
• https://proto.school
• https://share.ipfs.io
• https://webui.ipfs.io
• https://github.com/ipfs-shipyard/ipfs-companion/releases/tag/v2.5.1

Learnings

• We deviated from the OKRs to better support people going to dweb, but that got us ipld explorer and proto.school
• We didnt do a time budget and significantly over estimated how much we'd fit in a quarter
• I've seen that "coding harder" ultimately doesn't help deliver things faster when I'm supposed to be project managing.
• Mid 3Q retrospective How are we doing in 2018 Q3? #63
• End 3Q retrospective https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fXFUntQrOb5HYDP0jMlKTQ4SC014tWwam3pfGojMiFY/edit

5-10 minutes on Q4 OKRs. For each major objective please speak to the “why” and call out any cross team/wg dependencies.
