how can we make the Web work independently from the Internet?

dat:// is kind of like file://

your site doesn't get "uploaded"

If you have WordPress and, say, you want to make a book of your website, you have to go through all this HTML and stuff. And with the format that we have now, it’s very easy to turn the whole website into a book or migrate it to another system. So it became very portable.

P2P publishing enables people to publish content and information to the web from their personal computers without the need of server or centralized platform. This fundamentally changes the relationship people have to the internet by breaking the client server hierarchy and opens the realm of self publishing to everyone.

The P2P Web embodies 3 principles:

• Anybody can be a server.
• Multiple computers can serve the same site.
• There is no back end.

Once integrated into a browser, these principles enable users to publish independently of services, and move between applications freely.
