A JS library for helping IPFS peers coordinate, find a common interest, and stay connected around that interest.

/*
  This adapter library is concerned with interfacing with the GitHub Gist API.
  It's used to download a more easily maintained list of Circuit Relays
  operated by members of the PSF.
