I like the idea!
Have you seen redbean, which is a universal binary and serves static files from a zipfile? How does this compare to that?
Honestly, I think that the current Web can easily use libp2p from IPFS and serve files from any browser peer to peer, with relays on the internet.
I think the Web lacks two major things:
1) Address resolution only uses federated DNS and you need extensions to use, say, self-sovereign Web3 domains which can’t be stolen
2) There is NO WAY to load files by their content hash like onion links in Tor. If there was, we’d have a much more secure Web.
