As a fun touch, my website contains a timeline of everything I've ever built (online):

no need to reverse-engineer anything, both hardware[1] and software[2] are up on GitHub

does anyone know which A/B teat flag i have to switch to get the redesign?

Keep in mind that A/B tests are all about measuring engagement. If you're in a test you don't like, the most effective thing you can do is reduce your YouTube usage and cancel any subscriptions for the duration


everything has a non-zero chance of killing us.


I think when the parent wrote "us" they were referring to humanity. My doormat has a non-zero chance of killing me, but zero chance of killing humanity, for example.


living has a 100% chance of killing us


Anecdotally nothing has killed me yet, so clearly it can’t be a full 100%.


The heat death of the universe hasn't occurred yet, either.



You can actually deploy from localhost using the Sitesauce CLI[1] and avoid having a server in the first place.

Thanks for the reply, that would indeed be an interesting alternative to static website generators


I started Sitesauce[1] to provide an easy way to make your website/blog static, without worrying about plugins and finding an alternative for your specific stack.

It allows you to enter an URL and deploy a static clone to Vercel in seconds. You can also configure it so that it updates your static side as soon as you change something on the dynamic one.

Developer here :)

I made a small utility to sell access to your GitHub repos with Gumroad, since it doesn't seem to be an easy way to do so. Here's a video of me setting up a new instance for more information: https://youtu.be/EOuXeFtU9m8

Let me know if you have any questions!


Sitesauce allows you to login with your Vercel account once you create an account with us. Once you've done that, we use their API to set everything we need up.


In that case perhaps the wording on the front page should be:

"Sitesauce publishes your static sites to Vercel (formerly ZEIT), offering unlimited bandwidth and their world-class CDN for no additional cost."

That makes it clear that you aren't the one hosting and that it is actually Vercel. My initial understanding was that you would pull my data and host it yourself using Vercel as your host. Since you are using the host's API do you have any plans to integrate with other hosts, such as AWS?


The hosting is managed by Vercel, who recently announced unlimited bandwidth on their free plan [1]

Yikes.

So the bigger question then is what happens when they change this? Or go away. Also, have you seen what "Additionally, different hard limits apply for each plan." means on their pricing page[1]? Domain limits, maximum files, etc? What those might mean when you scale beyond expectation?

I don't mean to discourage. But big vendors pull the rug out from under people all the time, sometimes ruining a business because there's no viable alternative.

Make sure your eggs can be put in different baskets if need be.

Yeah, that's almost worse. It means Sitesauce is relying on the generosity of their vendor for their business model to work.


Well they could also connect to upload to s3, netlify, github pages, GitLab pages, to name the free or pretty cheap static hosts I can think of!
