IPSC(Inter Planet Site Creator) is a tool to create static html site with index pages from md,html and hyperlink

Background

IPFS (Inter Planet File System IPFS) is a peer-to-peer hyperlink protocol which is used to publish content. We can publish a web site on IPFS as we publish a site on http.

But as IPFS is an p2p system, file published on IPFS cannot be changed, if we changed a file and publish to IPFS again, it is a completely new file from the old one. Changing files of a IPFS file is not encouraged. So generally sites that are built on ASP.NET Java PHP which have a lot of scripts are not the best option when you want to publish a site to IPFS. Static website based on HTML and CSS is the best option.

IPCS is the tool to create static html site that you can publish to IPFS.

The site created by IPCS looks as follows:

• Site Root Folder
  • index.html
  • more1.html
  • more2.html
  • Pages
    • A1_xxxxxx.html
    • A2_xxxxxx.html

index.html is the entry point of the site, it looks like:

And the More... links to more1.html which contains links that index.html cannot contains
