That said, I think systems of this nature are worth pursuing and perhaps IPFS itself can be improved for more general purpose use cases. For my part, I think it'd be awesome to be able to write some html, css, make some images, `ipfs add ~/website` and then be able to link anyone my content and have reasonable guarantees of it's existence for the rest of my life. I can host my own websites, but it's not a particularly enjoyable experience.

IIRC it's possible to follow announcements of new hashes on the network and retrieve them automatically. I picked this up from #ipfs on FN, I believe, so I'm not 100% sure about it. Doing that would make an IPFS search engine fairly robust (and interesting to build, actually).
