While I am aware that nothing is permanent and everything takes maintenance, I sure feel like there ought to be a bit _more_ permanent way to publish things.

I run a few daily word games. They're static sites that could continue forever as long as they have players, but sometimes I think about what would happen if I died or stopped paying attention. Domains would expire. Maybe some people could still play cached versions, and archive site versions would still exist.

I host them on github pages so if I exposed that url then that could probably exist for as long as github does - or breaks something that requires the owner to click a button to fix or something.

I could probably publish a free desktop version on various stores, and that might last as long as the store, or OS upgrades break it.

It would be great if there was a way to publish something such that it exists as long as anyone cares about it.



I bet GitHub pages is more permanent than the iOS store ecosystem.
