Re:Show HN: A Decentralized StatusPage on IPFS

I mean, your status page itself may be on ipfs but since ipfs isn’t natively supported as a browser protocol, your “decentralization” fails since you’ll likely need to host the http <—-> ipfs gateway somewhere. Might as well stick your status page on a couple of vps (literally just two on two different continents) and round robin them.

Firefox has already whitelisted the IPFS protocol so that extensions can provide implementations. It won't be long before this can be decentralized.

The gotcha there is that you can use multiple gateways to access you page. So you are right, you need to have a http <--> ipfs but you can have many of then and anyone hosting an IPFS node can have a copy of your page and serve it.
