Thanks for replying, I found that link myself and it seems quite usable, however that raises another question, are there some plans to add support for translating URIs transparently (ipfs://mydomai.in) into the IPFS content addresses or I have to just keep writing something like "This link is IPFS-only: https://sub.mydomai.in"?

Firefox should already support ipfs:// and ipns:// with the IPFS Companion extension. See:

* 'Support for Decentralization Protocols' in https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2018/01/26/extensions-firefo...

* https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ipfs-companio...

You can do this if you have IPFS Companion installed.

Eg: ipns://dist.ipfs.io => http://localhost:8080/ipns/dist.ipfs.io

Firefox only as noted by devttyeu

There is talk of adding signed HTTP exchanges (same thing AMP uses to achieve the same idea[0]), but with content hosted on IPFS[1].

Native support for this may land in Brave someday currently there is an effort around adding IPFS[2]

Really cool, I'm eagerly awaiting for the signed HTTP exchanges.
