## AI overview

The article presents a manifesto for making website publishing simpler and more enjoyable. It argues that IPFS is a natural fit for open websites because content addressing can provide peer-to-peer access, availability when a node serves the data, and built-in versioning for site content. It also criticizes the complexity of modern web development and advocates the continued usefulness of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
