Is this project still maintained?

[MuriloSchaefer]

I'm building a distributed electron app and found the WNFS which claims to solve many if not all my concerns with the distributed part. I'd like to know if this project is still maintained, I'm even whiling to spend some hours to implement the protocol in ts to be used in the electron app

Hi 👋 It’s not being worked on right now. The main author is working on https://github.com/inkandswitch/keyhive/ instead.

There is a low-level wasm, rust + js, package that’s relatively stable: https://github.com/wnfs-wg/rs-wnfs

And there’s also a higher level typescript package by myself: https://github.com/wnfs-wg/nest

Bit hard to say if one should go with Keyhive instead or not. There’s a discussion about the different tradeoffs here: https://bsky.app/profile/tokono.ma/post/3lkqe5efqi22w

I think if you’re dealing with large binary blobs you should probably go with wnfs for now, otherwise, probably better solutions out there (or wait for keyhive).

Thanks a lot for the reply.
I will check the nest repository.

Thanks again

For sure. If you do try it out, let me know if anything is unclear or if it simply doesn’t work.
