this week i worked on two big internal rewrites for /cabin. the goal was to move semi-broken semi-onchain features to working offchain versions

first, our stamps (which were Otterspace badges) got moved to be entries in our db

second, we now store images in Cloudflare rather than IPFS

An unfortunate reality: 

many of the onchain features we’ve had relied on unreliable, defunct, and/or unusable protocols, so we’ve had to migrate to offchain versions

too bad.
I'm curious as to why not use ethereum attestation services for "stamps", and arweave for images?
it s a pity when things turn off, but why the swith to offchain instead of another onchain thingy?
