Amazing write up, thank you! This was pretty much our idea for a sample app so very happy to see you’ve done this. We’ll make a PR when our API is up and ready.

The “even free-er” tier is a good idea, will see what we can do.

Totally down for 🥌

Hi there, thanks for trying it out :) With the yarn global add command, what error message did you get? Do you have nodejs and yarn installed?

Hi Helder - Me - I am the Complete Beginner - Please do not think I am having a go at you - But - Do I have nodejs and yarn installed? - No - Because your guide said - You don't need to know anything about IPFS or distributed nothing, not even static site generators. And no mention of having to install anything or how to install them? or what a terminal is and the app that you use in that said terminal? So there is a big bit missing for the Complete Beginner that is using win10 & MSDOS. Yes I do have ubuntu installed on another laptop only installed some months ago so I am still a compleat beginner in Linux - But if You are a teacher that welcomes construtive miss understanding as a cry for help, may be, we can help IPFS and Linux gather more users - as it is very bewildering after a Microsoft brain washed users like myself trys to break free. So please use me as your beata tester for your Guides
