/ipns/en.wikipedia-on-ipfs.org/wiki/ is an UnixFS HAMT-sharded directory with 20M of files.

How to solve this? Need more analysis and UX design.

  • Files screen could have special handling for HAMT-directories
    • Minimal fix is to refuse to open HAMT-sharded dirs, informing user the directory is too big to be rendered, and suggest using CLI.
    • Proper fix, add better API to Kubo, allowing for streaming dir items with some sort of pagination (Gateway directory listings should be paginated kubo#8455)
