I think you can do this with Netlify already by publishing to IPFS in your post-build script or use something like the gatsby IPFS plugin. The DNS portion would require some setup though which is probably where this product shines.

"publishing to IPFS" doesn't make sense in the context of Netlify. Where is the content hosted once the build has been finished? You still need to send the content somewhere once the build is finished, otherwise it won't be available for others to fetch.

There's services like INFURA [0] and Pinata [1] that will pin content for free. It's as simple as using ipfs-deploy [2] to publish the build directory to one of those IPFS pinning services.
