       | Ok, I will ask. What is "DWeb-native"? Is it distributed through
       | IPFS or similar? Given that I access the website through HTTP
       | does that mean the content is accessed through a gateway of some
       | sort? Is it blockchain related? I'm at loss here.
       | 
       | Please don't assume that people know what you're talking about
       | when you use some new-ish terminology like this.
       | 
       | Edit: for info I looked at https://getdweb.net/ for a few minutes
       | and I'm still not sure what DWeb is supposed to be.

         | Yes it is published to IPFS and Hypercore. The footer has the
         | ipns:// and hyper:// links, and they "<a href>"-linked to IPFS
         | and Hypercore gateways. You can access them directly on the
         | DWeb networks with browsers like Brave (for IPFS), more on that
         | here:

         | On Beaker you'll have to use the hyperdrive key until DNS
         | support is added:

         | Apologies for the missing context. We also wrote a bit here
         | about why we are publishing to the Decentralized Web:

           | Interesting initiative. I must say, I find it a bit amusing
           | that a project that seeks to "reduce or eliminate central
           | points of control on the web" uses GitHub, even to tell me
           | this. The entire point of GitHub (which I use when I have to)
           | is to take an utterly decentralized and distributed tool,
           | Git, and turn it into a (largely inferior) central point of
           | control.

         | Thanks! I was planning to post another Show HN when Distributed
         | Press is more ready for people to play with. Right now the API
         | key is manually generated, but hey hit us up if anyone wants to
         | play with alpha software ;)
