On: Show HN: A website that converts any IPFS file to ...

No, I don't think it's the first example. https://www.eternum.io/ was one that was before, but I'm sure there are others.

We keep a list of some applications and other things over here too: https://awesome.ipfs.io/

"One of" :)

I'd argue eternum is not quite at the same level since it just takes an IPFS object as an input (but no IPFS output). Op made a thing that takes an IPFS object as an input and produces a different IPFS object as an output.

There are certainly many IPFS-based apps.

I would agree with this, Eternum isn't so much an IPFS-based API as an API for helping with IPFS pinning.

I'd say IPFessay (https://gitlab.com/stavros/IPFessay) is much closer to an IPFS-based API, since it can run entirely on IPFS with no outside servers.
