Truly decentralized websites

A few weeks ago the authorities in the US started clamping down on Tornado.Cash, a dApp for "mixing" cryptocurrency to hide its origins. Sometimes mixers are used for criminal reasons, and sometimes for personal privacy reasons, but that aside:

The incident clearly reveals a well-known flaw the the whole decentralized applications stack, namely the user interface in the form of websites.

In this episode I talk about how the underlying smart contract still works, but inexperience users (i.e. most of them) can't use it without that interface, and how decentralized websites may emerge to prevent interface censorship.
