pinme
PinMe is a zero-config CLI tool that uploads/export static frontend content to an IPFS-based publishing system, producing preview URLs and optionally binding content to a domain (PinMe subdomains and custom DNS) using an AppKey/VIP membership.
Score Breakdown
⚙ Agent Friendliness
🔒 Security
Uses AppKey-based authentication (not OAuth) and indicates masked display plus logout clearing local storage, suggesting some care for secrets. Scope/granularity is not described. No explicit TLS/auth transport details, rate limiting, or secure storage mechanism (e.g., keychain) are provided. Dependency list is reasonably standard for CLI tooling, but without audit/CVE information scores are approximate.
⚡ Reliability
Best When
You have a static frontend build artifact (dist/build/out/public) and want quick, verifiable IPFS-based hosting with optional domain binding.
Avoid When
You need first-class REST/SDK integrations, fine-grained programmatic domain/app management, or guaranteed IPFS-network-wide deletion semantics.
Use Cases
- • Deploy static frontend builds (Vite/React/Vue/Next static export) with a single command
- • Create verifiable, content-addressed previews for frontends
- • Import/export IPFS content via CAR files for backup/migration
- • Bind uploaded content to a custom domain (DNS) or PinMe subdomain (VIP feature)
Not For
- • Server-side applications requiring a backend runtime
- • Projects that cannot build to a static site (no index.html / missing static assets)
- • Use cases requiring complex API integrations beyond a CLI workflow
Interface
Authentication
Authentication is via an AppKey stored locally; domain binding requires VIP membership and valid AppKey. No OAuth described.
Pricing
No explicit pricing amounts or payment method details in provided content; subscription features indicated as VIP/Plus.
Agent Metadata
Known Gotchas
- ⚠ CLI is designed around interactive prompts when arguments are missing; agents should always pass explicit paths/CIDs to avoid prompt-driven flows.
- ⚠ Router mode constraint: deployed sites may require hash routing; history-mode sites can 404 on sub-routes.
- ⚠ Domain binding requires VIP and AppKey; agents that attempt binding without auth may fail.
- ⚠ Avoid uploading prohibited paths/files (node_modules, .env, .git, src, config files); ensure build output contains index.html and static assets.
- ⚠ Export is asynchronous and uses polling every 5 seconds; long-running operations may need timeout handling in automation.
