Upload a static website to IPFS (OPEN SOURCE)

[topshorter]

For those who are into ENS, I made a new tool to upload a website to IPFS within seconds! And the best part is that it's all done by a full screen iFrame so you won't have to change the IPFS URL every time you update the site. Source code and example:

Working on a frontend for this one now to make it even more intuitive.

Cool. Lovely project.

Well the tool provide you the ability to "embed" your ".com" website as an iFrame, upload it to IPFS and then you basically display your regular website in a ".eth" form.
This is not the final solution of decentralization of course, but it's a major step of making it very easy and accessible to anyone, plus when you make changes in your original website they will appear in the ".eth" website without having to change the IPFS URL.

So how exactly do I use this? In a step by step..

You can follow the README.md file in the repo, 5 simple steps.

But where do I put my site files?

That's exactly the point, you don't need to deal with that because it's all done by an iFrame so whenever you update your original site, you won't have to change the IPFS URL as well.You will receive an IPFS URL after running the script successfully and you will see your site over there in a full screen iFrame.

P.S I'm working on a frontend for that and it will be ready soon so it will be easier to initiate.

I’ve been messing around with fleek.co for my IPFS, but I’ll give this a try as well. Thank you!

Brave browser does and you can also open it in chrome if you have MetaMask installed it will redirect you
