Just want to add an alternative gateway that I've been working on recently: dapps.earth

It is somewhat different in the sense that it redirects from `gateway/ipfs/hash` to `hash.ipfs.gateway` to ensure different ipfs websites are hosted at different origins (Cloudflare also talked about origin issues in their announcement).

Now with what Cloudflare release, they do seem to solve some of the similar problems, but they still ask users to register the domains by themselves (or access in unsafe way with `/ipfs/hash` urls), which means those domains become a centralization point, and also most of the content is served from the same domain.

It would be fantastic if they allowed access in form `hash.cloudflare-ipfs.com` or `ens-name.cloudflare-ipfs.com`.

In the meantime I may just abandon the idea of serving ipfs content myself, and instead can just operate a small DNS-server that will return CNAME record pointing to Cloudflare and TXT record pointing to ipfs hash for each subdomain.
