Back in 2009, anynone with a Nokia could have a personal website running on their own phone. Sadly this amazing piece of tech was never widely adopted. Today’s phone are far more powerful than those Nokias both in performance and battery backup and still we don’t see anyone running a server on their phone. Why? I think this was never implemented on phones because there’s no incentive for large corporations to work on something like this.

      Yeah I could see that some people don’t have any interest.

      To me the true interesting part about it is that there’s no port forwarding, no firewall, The site (under a certain size) automatically gets cached in the network for free. It’s kind of like putting something out in an organized torrent. You don’t have to host it for any one particular IP or place, It solves just about every complaint that everyone was listing in this post for why it’s not reasonable. You simply sign it with your key and the name service keeps the latest version of to date for you, If you bought a new phone or wanted to use a desktop or wherever in the hell you want, your signed content just has to be available once a day to freshen the IPNS record.
