Anyone interested in using Micropub clients to publish direct to IPFS.
Features
Adapt IndieKit or similar server to add Fission API interface
IndieKit runs NodeJS and can be deployed to Heroku, where the Fission IPFS add on could easily be connected as well.
Markdown Build and/or Display
Assuming Markdown input and templates using IndieKit, these markdown files would need to be rendered to HTML for display.
Alternately, a Fission markdown-display-app might be built.
For now, rendering HTML on the server and pushing that into IPFS likely makes the most sense.
