Directory synchronization daemon built on top of IPFS and IPNS. You run the daemon and specify who can update the content, when one of them updates its ipns value, you do too!
Warning: the program doesn't have conflict resolution yet and it doesn't automatically cache the data it's supposed to serve (ouch!) but it does work to mirror ipns publications and the mentioned missing features are planned.
make sure you have node and npm installed and an ipfs daemon running, then just run npm install -g ipfs-sync to install the ipfs-sync daemon and start it by running ipfs-sync in your command line.
Clone the repo, then cd into it and run npm install.
When it's done you can run the executable ./ipfs-sync.js and try it out :)
