🛠️ IPFS in JS; Helia ramp-up
summary
Helia is a new JavaScript IPFS implementation that replaces js-ipfs with a modular ESM design, libp2p P2P support, and better developer ergonomics. Demo uses heliovite and the examples repo, exposes the libp2p object in the browser, creates a text CID and shows the CID is published to the DHT even when the HTTP gateway times out. Uses PL-diagnose to find providers, describes service-worker gateway experiments, backend TCP support, and practical migration tips.
