Coming Updates & Roadmap

[magiccodingman]

Wanted to just give an update to those utilizing TruthGate now or plan to in the near future. I have ~36 new files/changes come to the project significantly increasing security with rate limiting middleware to prevent abuse and ddos. Will have some JS scripts drop as well that works on your front end and TruthGate.

The JS will have a range of capabilities, but you can see early signs of my tests here:

The IPNS peer ID and CIDv0 load via the script. But it's failing currently when on localhost in pure IPFS. Thus why I've not even released an early version.

I also have posted the CLI publishing app I'm creating for professional production deployment, but it's not fully ready as of yet. I still have a few more things to work out, I'm adding meta data scraping for privacy prior to upload, and once that's done I'll announce it and have it documented.

Additional planned upcoming features:
1.) Client side JS scripts that knows when to boot users off a specific cached version (helpful for PWA folks) based on the CID.
2.) Deployment rollback functionality.
3.) Full control over rate limits, whitelist, and more.

My main focus has been to make the project stable since it's still very early in development. I want to see what should be basic functionality for any deployment tool like TruthGate. And I've dropped experimental ideas I've been playing around with that I talked about on my announcement post:

But I'm also open to any suggestions, ideas, or feature requests. Thanks for the support!
