- Neocities has launched an experimental implementation of IPFS. IPFS is short for the "Inter-Planetary File System", and is the foundation for a new way to distribute web content that is being called The Permanent Web. The idea behind the Permanent Web is simple: Instead of serving web sites from central servers, we believe that web serving should be decentralized, and that IPFS is an eventual replacement to the aging HTTP protocol for serving static web sites. + Neocities has launched an implementation of IPFS, an protocol for the distributed web. The idea is simple: Instead of serving web sites from central servers, a distributed web allows any computer to help serve a site.
- This is still very early stage technology, so if you don't understand what this stuff is, don't worry about it for now. But if you'd like to read more about why we're interested in this new technology, please see our blog post on the topic. + This is still very early stage technology and subject to change. To learn more, see our blog post.
- IPFS archiving and downloading is now supported by all web sites on Neocities. You'll see an IPFS hash link on the site profile, and an archive link that allows you to see past versions of your site (note: this is still a preview, so past site archives may still disappear, but we're working on making it better). + IPFS archiving is now enabled on all sites.

- We have a lot of very interesting projects we're working on with IPFS that will make Neocities even better. Stay tuned for some interesting new technology over the next year! -
