Thinking of using js-libp2p directly in IPFS

[daviddias]

Instead of using separate modules (libp2p-ipfs-nodejs and libp2p-ipfs-browser) I'm thinking in just using the base class from within js-ipfs.

This would mean:

• Fewer points, less maintenance
• Examples would live in this repo
• All the tests would be here, easier to find and maintain
• Easy to ramp up new contributors and users.

Thoughts?

Yeah, it seems like at this point most of the code is pretty portable across node and browsers, so I see no reason for having two distinct entry points in libp2p.

In principle I agree, the code in both looks very similar.

Awesome, thanks for the feedback @pgte, @victorbjelkholm and @dryajov. Work is happening here:

• runtime specific things - bring libp2p bundles here ipfs/js-ipfs#895
• WIP - feat: convergence #94

Closing this one 👍
