Like all Fission apps -- including the ones made by Fission directly -- you need to give permission to the Dashboard app to access your account info.

The first account management feature in the Dashboard is to show the verification status of your account, and to resend your verification email if it ended up in your spam.

Fission Drive is currently a preview release of our upcoming file storage and identity system that lets you take your files anywhere, encrypted end-to-end as well as for public hosting of files, websites, and apps.

The Preview release is an exploration of the interface, and currently supports only public files.

Enter any IPFS Hash

You can browse any IPFS directory, not just those hosted on Fission, by entering in the hash, or Content ID (CID), of a directory.

You can use QmbCLefkFuXbhHBWSW7PWmJzBL7W7e8zm41HK4DGJ1RDwV as an example folder to browse. Visit drive.fission.codes to try it out.

The hash above represents Boris' public files, which you can also see in the default IPFS browser at boris.fission.name.

Features

Dark & Light Mode

Preview supports system wide / browser settings for dark vs. light mode and will switch automatically when you change those settings.

File Previews

Clicking on an image will give you a file preview.

Click on the double arrows in the top right hand corner to embiggen the preview to full screen. Hit the X to close the preview.

The "Open in new tab" link will give you a permanent link for sharing the current file, using the Fission IPFS gateway.

Mobile Support

Yes, this works on mobile!

Keyboard Shortcuts

Use arrow keys to navigate, enter to open preview.

All of the apps that you have published with your account are listed on the Apps page.

Create a new app from the Dashboard

As well as using the Fission CLI to register and publish apps, you can drag and drop a folder of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files to create and publish your app directly from the browser.

Manage apps you've created

When you click on an app in your apps list, you get to a page you can update, rename or delete your apps on.

What is Fission?

Fission powers next generation app publishing.

For developers, they can design a user app using only front end and design skills. The web native app can be installed by 10 or 10,000 users, just like mobile or desktop software. Because the app is running on the user's computer, you can focus on finding new users and adding new features, rather than having to learn DevOps or server scaling.

People using apps create a secure identity in their browsers. Every Fission account is linked to a file system, available in any browser. Much like an open source iCloud, users give permissions to apps, and can access their files from anywhere. Users can browse their file system, both public and private, and mix and match which apps they use, just like they're used to with mobile and desktop apps.

A private key has been generated for your machine and saved in the ~/.config/fission/key/ directory. This key secures your communication with Fission services and works like using an SSH key to connect to GitHub.

Account Linking

If you already have an account created in a web browser, you can link it on your local machine. See the Fission CLI linking guide to link your account.

Create a simple webpage

Let's publish a simple webpage with Fission! We will write a simple webpage, register it as a Fission app, and publish it to the web.

Create a project directory and an index.html file.

mkdir hello-universe
cd hello-universe
touch index.html

Add some content to index.html:

<html>
  <head>
    <title>Hello Universe!</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Hello Universe!</h1>
    <p>This is a Fission powered page.</p>
    <p>Assisted by <a href="https://fission.codes">Fission</a>.</p>
  </body>
</html>

Run fission app register command to initialize the webpage as a Fission app. You will be prompted for a build directory.

$ fission app register
👷 Build directory (.):

Press enter to set hello-universe as your build directory, and fission will initialize your app.

✅ App initialized as big-narrow-fuchsia-elf.fission.app
⏯️  Next run fission app publish or fission app publish --watch to sync data
💁 It may take DNS time to propagate this initial setup globally. 
In this case, you can always view your app at 
https://ipfs.runfission.com/ipns/big-narrow-fuchsia-elf.fission.app

Fission will create a fission.yaml file with your app configuration.
