How do immutable systems like IPFS manage the problem of updates to a blog?


You have "publish ids" which you control using private keys.. like a dns... so you can have your main page address known and all the other posts linked from that page


They have another system called IPNS but unless it’s improved since I checked, it wasn’t very practical.


What's wrong with IPNS? I'm using it for my decentralized website (via fleek), and it seems to work well.


It has a reputation for being slow if you're not using the DNS-based version of the protocol (DNSLink). Though the experimental IPNS-over-PubSub interface helps if both sites are using it.
