Agreed

We should be suggesting self hosted and decentralized solutions to website hosting and file hosting.

On that note, does anyone have any secure methods of providing serving a file from your computer to anyone with a phone/computer that doesn't require them downloading/installing something new? Just a password or something? Magic-wormhole almost seems great, but it requires the client to install wormhole (on a computer, not phone), and then type specific commands along with the password.

Is there a simple `iroh serve myfile.file` from server and then client goes to https://some.domain.iroh/a086c07f862bbe839c928fce8749 and types in a password/ticket you give them?

That would be wonderful.
