The thing that doesn't make sense to me is that you say any file but then seem to be doing video-specific stuff to it. So did you mean to say any _video_ file? Also, what is HLS?

HLS is HTTP Live Streaming, an open, pure-http approach to live streaming video with support for adaptive bitrate delivery. first popularized on iOS circa 2008 as an alternative to Flash and other proprietary streaming systems.

He's referring to the title which says it "converts _any_ IPFS file".
I like that you can take something that is effectively on your disk, ping some endpoint, and it will get "pulled" by the service as a peer and process it.
Next step could be to make the "ping" step as an IPFS pubsub thing.
Is this one of the first examples of an IPFS-based API? This is very cool. I like that you can take something that is effectively on your disk, ping some endpoint, and it will get "pulled" by the service as a peer and process it. Next step could be to make the "ping" step as an IPFS pubsub thing.
We keep a list of some applications and other things over here too: https://awesome.ipfs.io/

No, I don't think it's the first example. https://www.eternum.io/ was one that was before, but I'm sure there are others. We keep a list of some applications and other things over here too: https://awesome.ipfs.io/
I'd argue eternum is not quite at the same level since it just takes an IPFS object as an input (but no IPFS output). Op made a thing that takes an IPFS object as an input and produces a different IPFS object as an output.
There are certainly many IPFS-based apps.

Yes you're absolutely right. I just changed the description on the website.

What's the utility of this? The site is down and github doesn't really explain why you would do this.
I just came back from a run and the website was down. Sorry. It's up again. Utility: https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs/tree/master/examples/browser...

What did you end up using for queueing conversion jobs?
Fantastic question. I'm not even doing that yet. How embarrassing! Right now I'm just spawning sub processes like crazy and hope they don't overwhelm my machine. In the future, I plan to use a queue and also to monetize on API queries. I haven't looked into queues in Javascript yet. If you have recommendations, that be appreciated :) This is really just an MVP to see how the internet crowd reacts to it. I'm glad it d…

Haven't used it, but "bull" shows transcoding as their example, so I assume they've run through your use case: https://github.com/OptimalBits/bull
Don't use bull, use NATS[1] - happy with it so far with the Node SDK. [1] https://nats.io
