Fission has designed a spec for what we call the Web Native File System (WNFS). It is implemented on top of IPFS and can be loaded in any browser, including mobile.
We’ve designed the system to store metadata, encrypt private files, and offer a number of features for end users and developers using the file system to build web apps with a web native file system, where files are owned by users. This also leads to a style of single tenant architecture for web apps, but for this presentation we will focus mainly on the file system details.
Join Brooklyn Zelenka and Daniel Holmgren as they present a technical design overview of WNFS. Leave a comment in the forum if you have questions.
