I really like the idea. The load of the intro page took around 35 seconds. Could Erlang/Elixir/LFE be used instead of JS/React? I am not familiar enough with IPFS to know if this is a valid question.

Lucky you. My experience ended with

IPFS bootstrappers out there are still a bit unstable. Sorry about that - please retry.

IPFS is a protocol, I don't think one can ascribe 30+ second latency to language choice.

I should have been more clear: not language choice, but since it is distributed computing, I figured, perhaps incorrectly, that using one of these OTP/Beam languages would help with fault tolerance, and more efficient distribution across the peer-to-peer system. I am not a distributed computing expert, so my question was to gain an understanding, and your remark will spark me to look into this. Thanks.
