Does this still require a daemon?

[mikeal]

I saw this note:

ipfs-blob-store today requires a running IPFS daemon to talk to over HTTP. This module will be able to be entirely self-contained once js-ipfs is complete.

However, js-ipfs looks like it now has feature parity so is this still true?

I believe this is still true today, because we're still converging on a single interface that lets you use js-ipfs or the HTTP API to a remote daemon.

Very soon it'll all be behind interface-ipfs-core, so you can swap between the two indiscriminately.

I think this question was answered, @diasdavid

It should not. @achingbrain implemented mfs for js-ipfs now too :D
