ProtoSchool explores Async Iterables returned by js-ipfs 0.41

The latest release of js-ipfs 0.41 introduced a huge async/await refactor, and breaking changes are no joke! The affected ProtoSchool tutorials have been updated to reflect the recent changes, highlighting which js-ipfs methods now return Async Iterables, and how to consume them using /for… loops/ or other helper modules.
Check out updated content on our Mutable File System (MFS) and Regular File API tutorials, then check out the updated event submission process for local leaders to list virtual workshops on ProtoSchool’s events page!

Fighting COVID-19 with IPFS

This is a follow-up to our bounty for creating a CORD-19 dataset:
Now, we have the CORD-19 Collaboration Clusters dataset, but it won’t be useful if the people using it don’t know that they can access this content from the IPFS network!
