IPFS "peers" map is quite .... mono-planetary #1955
Comments
Thank you for submitting your first issue to this repository! A maintainer will be here shortly to triage and review.
Finally, remember to use https://discuss.ipfs.io if you just need general support. |
Thanks for submitting this issue @michaelb. I love the idea of having this peers representation be future-proofed by supporting the ability to zoom out so we can view different satellites/planets/etc.. We could solve the visual problems with this screen now, but geoip support for interplanetary locations probably won't exist for a while. P3 because of the need for design and interplanetary solution; leaving this open for discussion |
@juliaxbow would you mind throwing together some mocks for this? (low priority) |
Here's a preliminary vector graphic mock-up created with Figma for lack of better animation tooling. If this is the direction we want to go in, I'll remedy that! Let me know your initial feedback so I can deliver addt'l mockups. Style

Hey @juliaxbow another interesting approach could be: https://github.blog/2020-12-21-how-we-built-the-github-globe/ I don't know anyone who visits github homepage, but they built a pretty nice visualization that's performant and memory efficient. |
I would love to utilize that githubGlobe and allow users to enable/disable transmission paths and rotation/etc. using something like threejs or other rendering library will probably be necessary to go interplanetary there is https://github.com/janarosmonaliev/github-globe if we want to investigate that. @juliaxbow do you have any problems with that representation? We could probably utilize that globe lib for any other planets. this is related to #2072 |
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Not a problem but rather an amusing constatation for the Interplanetary filesystem to display a planar map of only one planet (though arguably the most important one).

Describe the solution you'd like
While a globe (out-zoomable with possibly satellites, moons and other planets) would be nice, I realize that making it work in practice would require protocols for IP
geolocalization that probably aren't mainstream enough yet, if they exist at all.Though, we're not very far technologically from having IPFS nodes in space
Describe alternatives you've considered
I'll gladly continue to use the current map
