> Useful resources for using [IPFS](https://ipfs.io) and building things on top of it
_This list is for projects, tools, or pretty much any things related to IPFS that are totally_ **awesome**_. This is for products which are already awesome - if you have plans for cool stuff to do with IPFS, you should build it, and then link it here. If you have an idea for an awesome thing to do with IPFS, a good place to ask about it might be in [ipfs/apps](https://github.com/ipfs/apps) or [ipfs/notes](https://github.com/ipfs/notes)._
Everyone is welcome to submit their new awesome-ipfs item. In order to add an element to this list, you need to modify the files in `/data` and then run a simple `make build` before publishing your pull request as the Readme and the website are automatically generated. Check the [CONTRIBUTING.md guidelines](https://github.com/ipfs/awesome-ipfs/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) to learn how to do so.
**NOTE**: If you want to edit the README file directly (not the items/links) you need to modify the [README template](https://github.com/ipfs/awesome-ipfs/blob/master/scripts/readme-template.md) instead and run `make build` again. Thank you!
