I understand, but I am disinclined from using IPFS after having run a node for several years, because of a few issues:

IPNS is terrible, unless there has been massive improvement in the last couple of years. If you have used IPNS, you know exactly what I'm talking about. IPNS should resolve in less than a second, not dozens of seconds or a couple minutes. DNSLink is pretty much required.

No Tor support. ( https://github.com/ipfs/notes/issues/37 ) "this is not a priority" Jun 7, 2021.

Creates a new protocol utilizing Protocol Buffer instead od using HTTP and other web standards.

Written in Go and last time I checked doesn't link to other languages, so if you want to use it, you are using the command line utility, writing ypur program in Go, or reimplementing it. I tried making a way to link to it from other languages (opaque interger handles for Go objects is basically the only way that isn't insanity), but it was still difficult enough I gave up.

Feel free to use it, but I am looking elsewhere. Just a difference in priorities.
