## 💎 Milestones

### 🔄 Decentralized Web

#### Foundation

- `M(P0)` Base32 CIDv1 is the default and can be used as authority in URLs
- `M(P0)` Drop-in API Provider library is the default way of integrating IPFS with web apps and browser extensions

Lack of good solution is this space is already hurting adoption. We really should address this in 2019.
This could be framed as a part of Package Managers' "Foundation", maybe something like this:

  • Drop-in IPFS Provider library enables truly distributed CDN and becomes the default way of integrating IPFS into web apps

(In simple terms, we are talking about service worker that intercepts /ipfs/cid/some.min.js and loads it from the best IPFS provider at hand: js-ipfs, ipfs-companion, local go-ipfs, public gateway)

- `M(P0)` HTTP/WS /api/v1/ with proper access controls exists
- `M(P1)` Docs or guidebook of developer best practices for writing decentralised web apps exists.
- `M(PX)` It is possible to verify integrity of HTTP Gateway Responses

I feel this ability is highly relevant to Package Managers

This should be on someones roadmap for 2019. If Web Browsers WG not a good home for this, we perhaps we should move it to Package Managers WG itself?

- `M(PX)` URIs are officially registered (IANA etc)

#### Amazement

- `M(P1)` Having IPFS Companion installed is enough to create and publish a website on IPFS
- `M(PX)` A complete snapshot of a web page can be saved to IPFS and shared with one click

## 🗂 Large files

#### Amazement

- `M(P1)` IPFS Companion enables real-time, bidirectional file sharing between two or more people over the internet
- `M(P1)` IPFS Companion enables ad-hoc transfer between two people over local network

## 📦 Package managers

#### Foundation

- `M(P1)` Free and Open IPFS-powered CDN for JS libs exists
- `M(P0)` Base32 CIDv1 is the default and can be used as authority in URLs
- `M(P1)` Free and Open IPFS-powered CDN for JS libs exists, making pages load faster and offline

## 🧠 Strategic Projects
## 🤝 Supporting Partners and Users

- `M(P0)` Collaboration on libdweb results in landing vital APIs into Firefox
- `M(P0)` IPFS is a viable distribution channel for Signed HTTP Exchanges
- `M(P0)` Brave browser ships with embedded IPFS
