I've been talking about it for a while now. . . I finally got around to doing it.

I'm building the database out, with a desktop admin client I spent the last couple days making, to support an open sourced search engine, powered by a category based XXX.XXX.XXX taxonomy.

If you want to see how the database will work, paste this into your ipfs node and follow the next links: bafkreidtfa653iouevuobyozjeakx6fyx5px4xysdnfccnwjgttsazzj2u

This is the current release. I will be adding more to it, but none of the additions will appear here. It's a huge blockchain. Your IPFS node downloads only the portions of the chain that interests you.

I have plans to role out a desktop explorer client.

Why ipfs? No one uses it and the devs got rich off their coin and never made ipfs useable by the general public

while i agree that the crypto stuff is fucking depressing, this is very exaggerated and miserly..

What do you mean by it not being "usable by the general public"? There's a desktop client, browser extensions, and you can legitimately build things with it that "just work" provided you have those things installed.
I'd say you're borderline outright lying.
