This website is hosted by Nostr relays: https://nostr-webserver-3c29f7957ffe.herokuapp.com/e/1efc13c6ffbaf60c0347baf89f6ecaad22f74abf82165fcdb55ef7e8cca8a597

The HTML (kind 5392), JavaScript (kind 5394), CSS (kind 5393), and Images (Kind 1965/1964) are all hosted inside several relays and can be moved to any other relay if needed by simple broadcasting.

One day browsers will fetch nostr: directly. And then we won't need domain names or fixed servers anymore.

Code is here: https://github.com/vitorpamplona/nostr-web-server

I don't want to sound sceptical or anything, but what is the added value compared to IPFS? What is the differentiation?

Performance. Ipfs' wayfinding sucks.

It is slow, you are right. What about the immutable nature of regular events? Would that turn Nostr to a version control as well? Are IDs in this case mutable or immutable? Because on a larger projects changing all the links all the time would be a bit hard.

IPFS has to crawl a DHT to find someone who has a piece of content. This would go directly to a relay with the info.
