Why not use Beaker[0] and achieve the same thing, but on linux and windows too? It has a great community too [0]( http://beakerbrowser.com/ )
Or BlockStack[0] even [0]( https://blockstack.org )
IPFS + Firebase = Lovechild ^

Ok, but to access a site published on Beaker you must use the Beaker browser, right?
Otherwise, you will need a dat:// client - Beaker is the main web browser with dat:// support, other clients sofar have more specialised uses, e.g. https://github.com/codeforscience/sciencefair

It's personal preference, some people will prefer Beaker, we personally liked the "drag some files to a folder and that's it" UX. By the way, I'll mention this here because it isn't evident on the Hearth page right now: You can get your own username on Eternum for free, and it will redirect to the latest hash that Hearth publishes (i.e. the latest version of your website) automatically. You can do this even if you do…

How much extra work would it have been to add a "drag some files to a folder and run publish_website" interface, for Linux and Windows users? Hardly any, given that the functionality is already there.
Not only that, it would make the system more easily scriptable. For example, it is probably easier on MacOS to get a Makefile to run an executable than to drag files to a folder.

Not necessarily. IPFS is sort of like Bittorrent on steroids. You can think of yourself as the first seeder of your website, but as long as there are other network participants that have a full copy of your site, your home PC doesn't need to be online for people to access it.
Right, but when you want to publish something on the internet, wondering (and hoping) whether there is at least one copy out there in the ether is the last thing you want to have to worry about: your site has to be accessible all the time. In practice, it does mean you need an origin available all the time, and it's either you providing it, or some other service you pay to do it. I don't think there's any magic.
Looks interesting, but I can't get it to work. I've added some files to my Hearth folder, the menu bar icon changed to the "syncing" state and then seems to have got stuck like that. The finder integration doesn't work either, so I can't copy the Hearth link.
How many files have you tried to add and how big were they?
If that doesn't stop after a while, consider restarting Hearth app.
Regarding the Finder integration, if neither the context menu item to be shown nor the Hearth toolbar button then make sure the Hearth Finder extension is enabled (Visit the System Preferences > Extensions > Finder and enable Hearth) and the restart Finder by option+right clicking the Finder icon in your Dock and selecting 'Relaunch'.
Hope that helps!
Fantastic. The web falling into the AmaGooBookSoft silos has been convenient, but it hasn't been good for censorship or personal sovereignty. Making it push-button easy to publish to IPFS a great way to return editorial control and ownership to individuals, without the downsides of needing to run and maintain servers. I hope Hearth or someone like them expands beyond websites to self-publishing of store front ends, c…
Agree but I hope we take super small baby steps and get what above is accomplishing right the first time without complicating the use cases just yet.

> we personally liked the "drag some files to a folder and that's it" UX. Beaker does this... In terms of getting a free username on a HTTP website, https://hashbase.io/ Disclaimer: I haven't used Hearth, so I can't compare, but Beaker doesn't seem like it could be much easier.
Oh I see, thanks. I'm not very familiar with Dat/Beaker, but I'll try it out some more, as I missed that mechanic.

Easier for whom?
