facert··on Dcentralized url shortening service base on IPFS
At present, this version does have some problems and doubts, such as http://t.bdaily.club/ek5wz This link also jump to the centralized service. If you use the long address of ipfs directly, https://gateway.ipfs.io/ipfs/QmT2AKLygsgMa6r2AvxiJP31JTqSMMK..., the decentralization problem is solved, but the link is too long. there are some solutions (1) shortening the domain name address (2) with a blockchain (such as IOTA), mapping the short address and the hash address.

This service is just an attempt on IPFS, I hope to have this service inspired, then there will be a more usable, more robust app on IPFS.
