Plebbit is not a joke. You can see a demo here.

There is a whitepaper, and there has been a lot of work already using cool technologies like ENS (Ethereum Name Service) and IPFS (Inter Planetary File System).

To help keep Plebbit free from censorship, it is distributed, and nodes, built with React, use peer-to-peer tech to communicate.

If you like, please take a look at what Plebbit is doing and see how you might be able to make it more responsive.
