nicer looking index page

[jbenet]

this is not so hot:

would be nice to have humanized sizes. and nice listings. and maybe have links to ipfs.

[whyrusleeping]

should be as simple as deciding what we want: https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/blob/master/core/corehttp/gateway_handler.go#L491

Something like this?

[whyrusleeping]

krl thats a lot nicer :)

[jbenet]

Very nice! Would be nice to include an ipfs logo or something. like "served by IPFS".

also-- this is perhaps a separate PR -- we should do something cool with the index page. index pages haven't changed much in decades-- what could we do? previews? allow switching between "list, thumbnail, gallery" view? (insta-media-galleries)

(more ideas!)

[jbenet]

• would be nice to make the path components clickable, like at the top of http://ipfs.io/blog/0-hello-worlds/

[jbenet]

Idea: make the index page optionally take an argument, as a "viewer" which is JS that is loaded and runs on the page.

this could potentially be super dangerous, but it's an interesting idea.

+1 more branding
+1 gallery mode

@jbenet: would be nice to spec out what a viewer would be, and how it could potentially support non-unixfs structures as well.

[whyrusleeping]

would it be ipfs.io/ipfs/viewer#path or ipfs.io/ipfs/path#viewer ?

[jbenet]

the problem with using the #<path> notation is that it breaks anchors :(

here's a more branded version. @jbenet, @cryptix - how do we best get this into go-ipfs?

[cryptix]

@krl that looks awesome! We currently hardcode the html template for the index here.

[jbenet]

@krl looks very good. can we put that thing in a repo somewhere, and have the go templating in a pkg there? (i'd like to use it in other tools, and i'd like to give feedback on it)

Do our unixfs objects implement os.File? Otherwise I'm not sure how much reuse you will get out of this.

[jbenet]

@cryptix not that-- the templating from names, icons, sizes -> nice output.

@krl thanks
