blogpost: Migrating From Brave to Desktop App

Open lidel opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

This is the migration guide we will publish when Brave's removal of Kubo (https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/37735) hits their stable channel (ETA Aug 30th).

Any thoughts on moving this to the docs and linking to it like this guide: Screenshot 2024-08-13 at 3 46 06 pm

In my mind this is one time event, will not matter after a month, so blog (or even a pinned discussion forum thread) is more appropriate place. Not feeling strongly about it, let's draft it here, and we can decide where to publish once the time comes.

@autonome @2color @mishmosh I've just pushed update with bit more polished content that explains what is happening and why.

brave v1.69.153 just hit the stable channel, so I think we should merge this blogpost ASAP, and expand/fix on it if necessary, but we need a linkable resource people can google.

Mind giving it a quick read and review? (feel free to make edits inline)

a few more comments now that this is much further along:

  • ~~should include the date, since we know pretty close to when they'll ship~~ shipped yesterday, Aug 22 https://brave.com/latest/

  • not saying anything about the reason why Brave is removing IPFS will open the door for imaginations to run wild with completely untrue things, so should add something like "we could not find a mutually agreeable set of terms", which is exactly what it was

  • should throw something in (maybe in faq) about merging/syncing, even if just a pointer, since it will inevitably be brought up by people who've got data in both places

Applied feedback from reviews and expanded FAQ a bit: https://bafybeian2nr7sgjmobixoqya7qw5uyghlwnu5tf5tkjel54wtb5hkx3syq.on.fleek.co/_2024-brave-migration-guide/ Good enough to merge?

Ok, final preview: https://bafybeid76ycpf6bg6s42xicanyrhlaxzqbfvysi26kccr6rzexbj6foyha.on.fleek.co/_2024-brave-migration-guide/

Will ask for final proofread, but I'm going to merge it by EOD.

Merged. If you are late to review and find something to improve, please fix in a new PR :pray:
