JavaScript size

[svub]

Right now the JS file is impressive 5MB big - still 1.3MB GZipped. Most of it AFAIK IPFS.
It's half size with minification, but that currently breaks IPFS.

Need to find a solution.

Could be:

• Code splitting: at least in the frontend, the heavy IPFS could be loaded later w/t a problem
• Repace the IPFS implementation:
  • Use the official client lib, i.e. don't start a node in the browser, just use an HTTP gateway
  • Try IPFS lite - neither official nor the full functional range but should be enough for storing and getting files

Also, Brave and Firefox started having IPFS natively! So that could safe a lot by checking if IPFS is available and load it on demand otherwise.
