IPFS doesn't run natively in the browser yet

Seems js-ipfs[0] is not quite ready for prime time (though it's close) and the author had a requirement to do everything from a browser.

Wait, what?

js-ipfs runs in the browser just fine. See https://filemap.xyz/.

There is an issue opened around supporting HTTP exchanges for IPFS in the browser as well.

Only some features work in the browser. Notably DHT and relaying does not. See the repository's "Please read this" at https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs/#project-status

But I thought ipfs-js would make it run today within the browser...?

Looks similar to IPFS (https://ipfs.io/) but with less ambitious goals. And the IPFS team is also working on JS implementation that will run in browser: https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs.

It's coming along, not fully functional yet but you can watch its progress (or contribute code :D ) at https://github.com/ipfs/node-ipfs

Anyone would like to try IPFS in Browser, you can use the IPFS Companion(https://github.com/ipfs-shipyard/ipfs-companion) and IPFS-Desktop(https://github.com/ipfs-shipyard/ipfs-desktop). IPFS Companion supports many mainstream browsers.
