I think it makes sense, if you define a common (safe) API for retrieving the 
data. It would make it possible to integrate freenet-backed (censorship-
resistant) services in other websites which people can easily migrate from 
site to site. 

What would be even better: An API for the web-app, but also an API for 
retrieving and synchronizing the raw data for alternate hosting solutions. 
Then if a site goes down, the forst step would be to integrate the web-app on 
another site using freenet as backend, and the second step would be to grab 
the full dataset from freenet and setup a new backend server. 

Freenet would then be the censorship resistant fallback.

Best wishes, 
Arne
