Fleek

Like app frontends, Walletbeat ought to walk the talk of decentralization and censorship resistance.

Will move from Vertex to IPFS + ENS.
Perhaps an ERC-6860 version down the line too?

Work-in-progress version:
https://dev.walletbeat.eth.limo/beta/

So /fleek is ending the free hosting tier.
Walletbeat should move to a new IPFS host.
Requirements:
- ENS support
- Accepts crypto without KYC
- Integrates with GitHub CI without giving GitHub the keys to rug the domain
Bonus:
- DNSLink
- Service worker verifying IPFS CIDs

Censorship resistance requires privacy.

Looks great! Probably the only option that pioneered the approach of using a service worker to verify CID hashes.
Cons:
- Pricing model still unclear
- Earthfast homepage doesn't load at all in my Firefox browser (the service worker violates CSP for some reason)

Orbiter

Fleek is moving to free trials and eliminating the free plan. If you’re hosting a website on IPFS through Fleek, you can move to Orbiter for free.

3. /orbiter

Would prefer to be able to log in with a Safe wallet or similar, but OK fine.
Unclear if it does DNSLink or browser-side CID verification.

Other than that, looks like a great option.
And per the below cast, there may be a path to a free plan from Fleek:

you might want to use Blumen

you could replicate the IPFS deployment on multiple services and use Safe to manage the website

The more DIY of the approaches listed here, which I like.
Biggest drawback is requiring gas payments on push, so must keep hot wallet keys with access to the ENS domain in GitHub CI, which is unfortunate.
Client-side CID verification would also have to be DIY

What I'd love to see: A static, never-changing minimal index page that installs a service worker script with SRI (subresource integrity) to make its JavaScript code immutable, and DNSLink to ensure the immutability of this index page.

The service worker can then contact some endpoint to download & verify light-client-style proofs that
(1) The site's ENS domain name points to an Orbiter-type offchain ENS resolver.
(2) The IPCM contract for this domain resolves to some IPFS CID.

Then the service worker can then download the contents of that IPFS CID and serve the actual index page and its contents verifiably.

Super stretch goals

I will be reviewing the options above in more details soon.

In the running:

1. Fleek's non-free tier. They promise they will have crypto payments available before shutting down the free tier. It remains to be seen whether they will require KYC on that.

Staying with Fleek is probably the laziest option, but doesn't meet any of the bonus requirements.

My interpretation is that the free tier still exists for now but will end on April 17, at which point they will cease to provide IPFS hosting or pushes for free projects.

Is it actually being removed, or is it changing? The email was confusing, but there's still a free tier on the pricing page.

For service worker that verifies the IPFS CID you can just use the inbrowser ipfs gateway: 
beta-walletbeat-eth.ipns.inbrowser.link

Very nice. Looks like it's open-source too (https://github.com/ipfs/service-worker-gateway) so it could work well as a manually-included service worker script within the site itself.

Yeah, I share this sentiment.
That said I expect Walletbeat to grow beyond hobby project scale, so using a non-free hosting provider tier is to be expected.

Ugh that will be the death of it. Hosting services just need to offer a free tier for hobby and open source projects to compete. Not a fan of their AI pivot either.

Great to see more people thinking deeply about permissionless frontends! Also appreciate the @earthfast mention.

To address your concerns:
- EarthFast homepage should load for you now. The reason it didn't is because Firefox private browsing doesn't support service workers
- Pricing – we expect this to be competitive (~$10/mo), but plan to have an open marketplace where nodes set their own prices
