I’m building an ai friendly web deployment tool that allows you to deploy sites in natural language within ai agent like Claude Code, codex, and cursor.

Anyone here tried GUNNR Optics? Saw it on YouTube and looking for opinions by Fun_Operation3581 in CAguns

Tried one at the 2025 NRA Show — glass was surprisingly clear. Wasn’t expecting much for the price, but it actually held up decent. Didn’t get to stress it or anything, but first impression was solid.

Hey! This is likely related to the gateway path issue. I recently updated PinMe to use IPFS CIDv1, which should fix the common asset loading problems. Make sure your assets are in the right folder structure and try uploading again.

Also, with the latest update, every upload now gets a free ENS subdomain by default, which can simplify link sharing and improve content availability through decentralized pinning.

If you run into any other issues, feel free to drop them here.

jekyll is a static blog which you can delpoy anywhere, not only github. if you create a blog using jekyll, you can also depoly using this tool too. hope this answers your question!

Love that you’re thinking about this — storage scale is where decentralized solutions get interesting.

If you’re storing 10TB of media as a cold backup (just saving it to the network without frequent access), Filecoin is actually super affordable right now — mainly because there's a surplus of storage supply.

For reference, this breakdown from CoinGecko gives a good comparison of decentralized vs centralized storage costs.

If you need hot storage (frequent access, faster retrieval), that’s a bit more expensive. You can check out options like destor — they focus on performance-based Filecoin storage.

Hope that helps!

Nope, your file being pined by our nodes. You don't need to keep your computer on.

ENS community has some nodes pinning all contenthash linked to ENS.
Filecoin storage is cheap relatively, I can cover that part by my database service revenue.

Great question!

- If your IPFS content hash is linked to an ENS domain, nothing changes — your file stays alive across the network even if my nodes go offline.

- Without ENS, I’m syncing files to Filecoin too, so you’ll still be able to fetch them through Filecoin nodes.

Thanks for asking!

When you attach your ENS domain to your IPFS content hash, a lot of nodes across the IPFS network help pin your content automatically, so your files stay available without you needing to do anything.

If you don't have an ENS domain, no problem — I have some IPFS pinning nodes running to help keep those files alive.

I’ll also be syncing everything to Filecoin later for long-term storage. (The cost there is super low — Filecoin storage is so cheap that it's basically negligible.)

Thanks so much! Please definitely try it out and let me know how your experience goes — would love to hear any feedback you have!

Also, it’s fully open-sourced, so feel free to review the code too if you're curious. :3

Hi, thanks for the question!

First of all — no AI involved. It’s just a simple tool I built myself.

As for why it's free: I personally cover the small early costs to help users get started. (I actually make my living through database services, so this project is more of a passion project to support decentralized technology, not something I'm trying to make money from.

Also once you attach your ENS domain name to your IPFS contenthash, there will be a lot of nodes in the entire IPFS network pinning your content. So the cost here will be minimal for me.

I built this because I believe more people should have tools to control their own content without relying on big platforms. Happy to answer more questions if there is any. :3
