If I wanted to host an app completely on ipfs (no external servers and feeds), I’d share the hashed address of my app, right?

How do I update any content in the app? How do I update the app itself? I’m assuming that any change to my app will result in a new hash / address, which I will have to distribute via an out-of-band channel?

Thanks, interesting project!
