This is nice but for more mass adoption we'll need something seamless that will just be included as a script in a web page and "just work" by connecting to a provider while still customizable for people who want to use their own node.

It can even "polyfill" any IPFS paths automatically (which should just be simply as replacing any ipfs:// URIs with ipfs.io gateway paths).

For anyone trying to host pinned files behind a NAT/CGNAT would it be possible to hole punch to serve paths directly? If possible everything can me set up to work just out of the box with minimal/no setup in browser which should be the aim.

In other words, we need something of an IPFS version of what MetaMask/ethers.js did to Ethereum based blockchains.
