Links to the DWeb

Opened this issue · 0 comments

We currently have a link on the handbook's homepage that links to the version of the handbook deployed on IPNS.
To make this link accessible to all, it currently uses a gateway.

on #275, @RangerMauve suggested:

Could also be useful to include hyper in there and a non-gateway URL too.

Current link status:
Link text reads ipns://handbook.hypha.coop/
Link destination points to https://handbook-hypha-coop.ipns.ipfs.hypha.coop/

I think the suggestion is valid but my concern is that this could lead to broken links for users unfamiliar with the Distributed Web browsing the web without IPFS support.

I think this would need a fallback solution or some additional context that explains that such non-gateway links do require an IPFS-enabled web browser.

Additionally, I have not been able to access the version deployed to Hypercore and because of that I wasn't comfortable linking to it.
I will do further tests to resolve the hyper issue and would appreciate feedback on the best way to link to IPFS/IPNS.
