A feature of IPFS caught my attention - the name publishing and resolving. I think it’s a great feature, but I couldn’t get to use it in the js-ipfs implementation. Is it hidden in the DAGs? (so far failed to get a DAG object with my node’s hash id) Is it even possible to use name resolve and publish in js-ipfs at this time?

js-ipfs doesn’t have support for IPNS yet, but it sounds like it’s planned.
