Getting Started #

Intrepid Ibex is a public AT Protocol browser dressed like an Ubuntu 8.10 desktop. It stores everything in your browser.

Browse a repo #

Start with a public handle such as desertthunder.dev. The setup dialog resolves the handle to a DID and finds the repo's public PDS when it is advertised.

Open Browse public repo to view collections in Nautilus. Pick a collection to load records, then open any record in gedit for a formatted JSON view.

Share a record #

Record windows use stable DID-based URLs:

/repos/:did/collections/:collection/:rkey

Opening one of those links boots the desktop, selects the collection in Nautilus, and opens the record in gedit.

Local cache #

Records you fetch are cached in your browser with IndexedDB. Search works against that local cache, and cache failures should stay recoverable from the boot screen.
