Truly remarkable result from the Sia core team after 5+ years of work!

It will be really interesting to see how the whole JAMStack "static is the new dynamic" movement (NextJS, Gatsby), and the immutable deploy URL pattern can benefit from being built on top of something like this![1]

Amazing work from the Sia team, this is a serious game changer to the blockchain/crypto space. Once the word spreads this will be huge. Congrats Sia.

This could really be game-changing. Even just static java-script apps hosted on Skynet that can then upload data to Skynet is an interesting use. What would really be cool is if a browser implements the Skynet-Portal step so that the `sia://` call could just be baked into HTML pages instead of being proxied.
