No comment about ZeroNet itself, but am I alone in the opinion that this website takes grid layout too far? It looks outright cluttered and overloaded.

Kind of reminds me of the old table layouts, although it doesn't bother me personally.

Presumably you only download the site you want when you visit it. If that's the case then can you view revisions of the web sites or do you only have the current copy?

If you click on "How does it work?" you get redirected to a short and sweet presentation[0]. According to the presentation, when you, as the site owner, push an update, content.json gets updated, the peers get a notification (using the WebSocket API) that a new content is available, and then they download the new version of content.json that contains the sitemap of the updated version of the website. Cleverly thought out!
