IPFS node in the browser, so it can load boards peer-to-peer without centralized IPFS RPC gateways. Browser nodes still have restrictions, such as limited
inbound connectivity, so they can load data peer-to-peer but are not a stable way to host board data yet. Helia pubsub is currently unstable for 5chan's
needs, which is why the pure browser P2P site is experimental. The desktop apps are the stable pure-P2P option today because they run a full Bitsocial node
with IPFS Kubo.
