One of the drawbacks of cloud storage is the time required to upload and/or download large amounts of data. Depending on the amount of data, this process can take several days before everything is synced up. Diode Collab has now introduced direct connections. This means that team members can sync files and communicate directly with each other via the fastest connection possible. With a direct connection, files can sync exponentially faster, depending on your network...

In this article, we will outline the steps required to deploy a static website under your ens name. One example is my personal website hosting on IPFS using “yahsin.eth” my ENS custom domain. What it does is that anyone can visit https://yahsin.eth.link/, the browser would return an introduction of myself. It will work faster if the viewer has MetaMask readily installed. View a list of ENS+IPFS websites compiled by Almonit here: https://almonit.eth.link/ If you’re interested...
