I'm interested in leveraging the /ipfs/unixfs-cid functionality for clients without directly interacting with UnixFS. Can someone provide guidance on how clients can utilize this feature without dealing with UnixFS intricacies? Additionally, what are the implications of using /ipfs/unixfs-cid in this manner? Any insights or examples would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I am exploring the idea of using a search engine to index IPFS hashes. What strategies can be employed to efficiently discover new hashes and gather useful information about their contents? Additionally, what key information should be stored about a hash to make it interesting and relevant to users? Any insights or best practices in this regard would be greatly appreciated.

I am looking to utilize a chunk size larger than 1MiB for DAGs. Would I need to organize 1MiB chunks into DAGs of the desired size, then group those DAGs into a superDAG? While I understand the network's transfer limit on mebibyte chunks, is there a method to achieve this? Any insights or guidance on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
