See also the Beaker peer-to-peer web browser. I love how much simpler it is to host websites, from the browser - the real read/write web!!

I'm not affiliated with them in any way.

The folks at Beaker are doing a phenomenal job; it's great to be working towards a common goal of a better Web.

Opera used to have this capability (internal web server, read/write web) until it was gutted and turned into another chromium skin after V.12

I'd forgotten about that feature! God the old opera was a hell of a browser. M2, the first stand alone web apps ...

Mouse gestures! Those were the days!

I still remember the rhyme "Buy Opera today and make this banner go away!"

I'd like to take a look at say ~10 self-hosted sites. How can I get to them? Honest question.

Start with personal pages listed at https://userlist.beakerbrowser.com/ and go from there.

One more question... How am I supposed to come up with that list? I was googling extensively and skimmed through both Beaker's docs and Hyper FAQ. They are friendly towards creators, but I didn't see a word about exploring self-published stuff.

I think it's in a bookmark that shows up on the new tab page in Beaker itself, after installation. Not sure why it is not featured more prominently.

Does it bother anyone else that Brave's claiming to be the first browser to support IPFS?

I don't see them claiming that anywhere in the article. "The first deep integration of its kind" probably refers to integrating go-ipfs into Brave, which is more complex than other changes they've made so far.
