So e.g. http/https works due to DNS. A still-somewhat-theoretical p2p might work due to a universal content identifier. The application you are referring to however cannot be addressed by either of these. Rather, to get it you need to go through a "store" and download a "trusted" blob. That's very different from what the web platform stands for. Or in other words, you are designing a proprietary walled garden system around web technology. And that's fine, but the web platform should aspire to higher goals. -- http://annevankesteren.nl/
