It looks great, but there is one question out of the box for me...

What about updating the site?

With IPFS this means a completely new hash unless you're running under (through?) IPNS, to point a domain at a new hash. If it's a new hash every time, you give up quickly because you don't want to propagate a new hash to any potential users every time (in the general case).

Maybe they can track the hashes and give us subdomains that redirect to the latest update?

By the way, I've added that feature now:

https://www.eternum.io/api/docs/#!/api/site_update

Hearth will ask for your Eternum API key and will automatically update your URL to point to your latest hash. Like so:

https://www.eternum.io/user/stavros/

That's exactly what we're planning on doing, we're going to add something like "username.eternum.io" or similar.

Why not full domain names?
