## What it is
IPFS Web UI is a browser-based frontend for managing an IPFS Kubo node or IPFS Desktop installation. It provides dashboards for node status, file management, IPLD DAG exploration, peer visualization, and settings configuration.

## Use cases
- manage files on my ipfs node without the cli
- view ipfs node stats and bandwidth
- explore ipld dag and inspect cids
- see ipfs swarm peers on a world map
- configure kubo node settings and pinning services
- upload and download files to ipfs via a web interface

## When to choose
- you run a Kubo node or IPFS Desktop and want a graphical interface
- you need to browse, upload, or pin files on IPFS without the CLI
- you want to visualize your node's peers and network activity

## When to avoid
- you need a headless or programmatic IPFS client - use kubo-rpc-client or the CLI instead
- you want a general-purpose IPFS gateway for serving content to end users
- you don't use Kubo or IPFS Desktop as your IPFS implementation
