Description

This tutorial teaches the reader how to use IPFS to store the user interface for a dapp. Although the application's data and business logic are decentralized, without a censorship resistant user interface users might lose access to it anyway.

Great work @qbzzt! Thanks for this. Commented with a few suggestions and questions, lemme know what you think


## Conclusion {#conclusion}

You cannot reliably delete IPFS files, so as long as you're modifying your user interface, it is probably best to leave it centralized. However, once you've stabilized it, it seems like it would be an excellent idea to release it on IPFS so that portion of your dapp can also be decentralized and censorship resistant.

Would it be worth mentioning IPNS here?

Would also consider changing the topic (first) sentence here for the "Conclusion" section... it currently starts by adding an entirely new point that has not been brought up yet, when I would have expected summary of the points so far.

Maybe a new section on "Drawbacks" or "When to use?" before the conclusion?

On a similar note, there are some challenges that can arise by using IPFS to serve some sites (ie, ethereum.org struggles with this since it has many package dependencies, and some have led to roadblocks on our own ability to implement on IPFS, though I'll admit we've typically tried using services such as Fleek). Any thoughts on adding a bit of content related to this topic?

What packages? I'd happily add more details, but I need to know them first. Otherwise, I'll just write "IPFS can be forever" as the heading.
