Can you port an existing Web2 property to Web3 infrastructure? Could I serve up ribbonfarm dot com as an IPFS smart content blob somehow, that has no fixed physical address? It already uses a CDN, why do I even need Wordpress?

I don’t think it’s easy to separate data from the server-side generation code. Static site generators are in a way more high framerate “website movies” that emulate dynamic sites with very fast rebuilds. Not sure how that would work with distributed system deployment.

hope i'm not oversimplifying this, but as long as content = content, wouldn't the answer certainly be 'yes'?

it's like claymation vs. filming live actors. Both get you to 30 FPS but one is snapshots you animate while the other captures snapshots of continuous motion

In Web3 speed is a function of propagation delay between high-level peering nodes though, right? So making gatsby faster won’t make end-to-end faster since it’s smarter/slower routing than tcp/ip

making gatsby builds faster? Yeah, that matters less given web3 is slow. With Gatsby Cloud we can deploy changes to your site in < 1s world-wide so build speed is almost all of the time generally
