IPFS in the Browser

What it does

This page creates an IPFS node in your browser and exposes it as window.node so you can experiment from DevTools.

It also includes a small example that cats a hard-coded CID and renders it into an <img> tag.

How to use it

Notes

  • This is a demo / experiment and relies on a third-party CDN script include.
  • Running multiple tabs of the page at once can cause conflicts (multiple nodes attempting to use the same config/identity).

Features

  • Spins up a transient IPFS node in-browser
  • Exposes the node as window.node for console exploration
  • Example: cat a CID and display it as an image
