This is awesome! Many people (including me) complain that Github is too centralized and closed source. AFAIK this is the first platform that integrates git and IPFS. It looks like it is built around the Git CLI. So another layer of abstraction.

One thing that stuck out to me is this line:

Is this normal for Haskell projects ?

View on HN

4GB is a bit of an overestimate (it's probably more like 2.5GB) but yeah, Haskell project often consume a lot of memory when building.

That said, there are brew and deb packages!

What is the performance like?

I like the ideals in IPFS, but I would also be very surprised if it could compete with the performance I get from S3.

Let's be honest, our centralized solutions are mostly good enough :)
