A major push around debuggability within our stack is expected to happen. This is a great opportunity to kick start a joint effort between Kubo, Helia, IPDX, and probelab.

Through our work on Gateway Conformance we discovered that building on IPFS stack is not easy, even for people close to the ecosystem. We'd like to start a standalone project that would help us explore this further. The very rough game plan is:

1. Start a simple project that cuts through all the layers of IPFS stack (working idea - decentralised DropBox).
2. Consume the publicly available documentation to implement the project.
3. Document usability sharp edges and documentation shortcomings.
4. Contribute usability fixes to the IPFS stack.

Our thinking is that this exercise could attract more active contributors to the IPFS stack thus reducing strain on IP Stewards.

This is a project that sparks joy for Laurent 💖
