Enhancements to improve UX that encourage a "critical mass of hosts required for site reliability and availability" #244

Description

@rjcorwin

I just experienced for the first time spinning up a hello world index.html using dat and then accessing it in the Beaker Browser. From nothing to published on the distributed web in three commands. Very slick! However I'm left wondering how I'm going to persist my little hello world. When I shut down my computer, the hello world goes away. I need to get more people to host it for me! If I share my dat URL with my friends, I can instruct them to click a 2 levels deep and then click the Host button... But how about promoting that host button to the forefront? There seems to be a social dynamic to site reliability/availability here, with a critical mass of people hosting, the website will stick around and always be available. If there were a metric also on that host button of how many other people are hosting it, if I like that page and I see it has not reached critical mass, then I have an incentive to host because I want that page to stick around so I would be more likely to click the host button.
