IPFS Support

Hi! More of a question really, but have you got any plans to support ipfs:// ??? That would be veeery interesting 😁 🚀

Hey!

Thanks for checking this project out!

So I'm not committing to anything. BUT, the way I'm implementing this browser is very intentional. I have a protocol called peer:// which resolves HTTP requests against the torrents (and eventually will provide DNS style lookups on a blockchain).

Registering a protocol is straightforward. This means we can load in modules that register themselves as standard protocols and can work out of the box. I.E. ipfs:// and zero:// could each be implemented, allowing for transparent routing to the IPFS and ZeroNet protocols respectively.

This is absolutely a direction I want to explore, but I want to get this shipped into a beta state before I start piling protocols into it.

I'm closing this for now to keep the open issues focused. I've tagged it with post-beta and will revisit as soon as we ship a working browser!

@retrohacker nice 😁 looking forward following this project 👍

Think this is ready to come back on the table!

Also would like to see zerofs, .onion, and the new blockstack browser.
