Beaker does this...

In terms of getting a free username on a HTTP website, https://hashbase.io/

Disclaimer: I haven't used Hearth, so I can't compare, but Beaker doesn't seem like it could be much easier.

Am I missing something? Beaker requires you to use their browser? Not really apples to apples

Beaker is a browser that supports http:// and dat:// - you can:

- use Beaker to publish/"host" dat:// websites (as you can use Hearth to publish ipfs websites)

- use Beaker or any dat:// client to browse dat:// websites

- use any browser to browse dat:// websites via http through hashbase.io (similar to eternum.io)

On the cli side, you can also browse/explore dat content with https://github.com/millette/dat-shell

OK, but IPFS sites are just HTTP/S via a gateway. So any browser works. Indeed, there are IPFS gateways on Tor onion services.

The last point mentioned has that too, hashbase.io is a HTTPS gateway for dat://

Oh I see, thanks. I'm not very familiar with Dat/Beaker, but I'll try it out some more, as I missed that mechanic.
