That’s an interesting idea, do I want my website guaranteed to be fully downloaded to someone else’s computer tho lol

It already is, this beats the NSA and OpenAI et. al.

I don’t think there is a file in my Firefox directory that is Google.com but I get your point, that’s cache tho.

Hmm, sounds like a nice tie-in to anonymous USB dead-drop sites and so on. Go connect to a tree somewhere, upload your new .snk files, download any new ones placed there since your last visit :)

Maybe have a Meshtastic solar-powered node feeding new .snk files onto it too, from afar!

I would like to try this. Any accessible way to verify that a USB pen was not infested with malware in between visits?

Give it to your friend first

That was my thinking as well. This plus a solar powered mesh could give us an incredibly resilient and decentralized web. Its like appying the concept of managing your feeds through RSS to managing your own personal web.

So this is just a “Manager” for offline websites?

Feels like this is a modern day rehashing of the windows 95 briefcase system.

It’s interesting but I think a distributed internet makes more sense. There’s no reason this couldn’t be folded into that too though. If it disappears off enough peers that it’s done, someone opens up the dead-dropped site and that new peer shares with the others again.

I would be seriously worried about malware on a random USB stick in the wild…

This is really nice, but I don’t understand what the willow part really brings, unfortunately

What is the advantage of this over just dropping HTML files onto a USB drive?

unique opportunity to move beyond HTML/CSS and they just didnt
