The proposals raised there can generally be divided into two groups: - proposals regarding decentralized websites (like ENS+IPFS), - proposals regarding IPFS own features.

At first sigh t, people think dWebsites are like sending a zip file to a friend. But there are actually lots of dynamics possible in dWebsites!

How? You can use ENS or IPNS to update the dWebsite content, or use IPFS data structure to dynamically fetch content based on user’s actions — or even, you can use the blockchain like a server-side for dynamic content.

First, certain things are trivial for classical websites but are almost impossible, at the moment, for dWebsites. Simple things, like user comments or forums.

Yes, we got some good projects like orbitDB or 3box, but they both need more time to mature, while the community needs much more than two such projects to experiment with dynamic dWebsites.

So we talked about dWebsites imitating web 2.0, but how the hell would IPFS attract users by merely imitating what’s already exists?!
