So I clicked the intro link, and...

Here we go again. Just another revolutionary website with same framework that display the same annoying alert about JavaScript being disabled.

Ok, enabled.

After 43 seconds of constant download (at 170-200KB/s, but I'm on wifi now with 100Mbps connection) I finally was presented with article with several paragraphs.

Don't do that. I beg you.

Tried that on desktop. Didn't get contet within 2 minutes, but I've got a lot of websocket connections transferring binary data in background.

Sorry for the 43 seconds of your time, two bootstrappers are timing out and that slows down everything. Lesson learned, I will fix the app.

Regarding JavaScript: I don't think there's a good way of doing distributed web docs with HTML only. Very sorry about that.

It doesn't work at all for me. Just a bunch of errors related to an IPFS gateway.
