I'm surprised no one has made a truly decentralized site using webtorrent or ipfs, such that the more people use it, the harder it is to take down.

I suppose databases would be hard to implement with both, but you could just save everything as updating flat files and the database could be a progressive enhancement.

seems like an interesting technical problem to solve. if you're willing to trade off speed for resilience it seems possible with today's technology with very little modification.

This project is pretty much what you are describing, only more secure and tailored for a pretty much single use case.
