I've since had a "better" idea. We stop using DNS and, instead, just maintain a hosts file that we all share.

I was thinking about when websites didn't need their own domains, and instead we joined neighbourhoods, and had curated directories which were more useful than searching.
Then I followed a rabbit hole and discovered
NeoCities
.

Aware of Neocities! A friend uses it for
his website
.
Also, what I suggested is pretty much how name resolution worked on the early internet. And
this woman
was responsible for maintaining the hosts file.

Also there are still
tilde servers
. Where you get a home directory and can serve pages from ~/username/ like back in the olden days.

There might be a bandwidth issue because everything is super lofi. Only use case I can come up with is under the radar stuff.
I'll allow it has a certain janky charm.
