It would be really cool to have some special handling for ipfs and ipns links. As background ipfs and ipns have their own native url format which is currently not supported in most browsers.
At the moment most browsers access content on the ipfs via gateways, which can be accessed with links of the following forms.
It would be really cool if linkace could detect ipfs and ipns links added in any of their forms and store them in their native form. Then provide buttons on the link page for both native links and for a per user configurable gateway.
Additional food for thought, while ipfs links point to immutable content, ipns links are more like traditional weblinks in that they can be repointed to different content (i.e. different underlying ipfs links). Thus ipns links would benefit from periodic re-resolution much like conventional links. Though instead of needing to use the internet archive they would just need to resolve and store the underlying ipfs link periodically.
Ipfs links wouldnt benefit from periodic re-resolution or submission to the internet archive. An option to submit them to a pinning service (self hosted or otherwise) would be neat but a whole other feature request in and of itself.
