Facebook must have optimized for this. Do whatever they do.

And make it so they don't have to log back in frequently.

Good point but those are called fenders. Buoys are some else.

It would be interesting to build an app like this designed specifically to run on Cloudflare workers.

- Essentially free for moderate use

- Use CF Access for simple access control

- Easier self-hosting because it is designed for a specific target environment

- No servers to worry about

- Could build AI integrations easily

Surprised no one has mentioned FreeScout. It's a solid open-source helpdesk: https://freescout.net/.

They have cheap, one-time purchase plugins. Happy to pay a bit to keep the project sustainable.

I'd love to see an open-source Trello alternative that as well. There are a few out there, but nothing that seems actively maintained.

I built thatsexquiz.com - a quiz for couples to improve their intimacy. Changed the pricing model and went from $5 to $50 per day

Cloudflare is the easiest solution. Turn on Bot Fight Mode and your done

I had a college professor suggest this and I 100% agree. I think of it as loading the problem in your brain. Then sleep on it and you will make a lot more progress in the morning than if you had just spent the same total time in one sitting.

Pretty much everywhere. I guess to demonstrate the framework's attention to detail, craftsmanship, etc. No clue

Laravel does something similar. Each line of multi-line comments are exactly 3 characters shorter than the previous line.

Sell the data to hedge funds. I saw a company selling this data at an alternative data conference a few months ago. I can't remember of the name of the company but if you message me I'll find it.

Looks like it would be easy to add.

Show HN: Simple headless, serverless, static, git-based CMS

aarreedd — Thu, 25 Jul 2024 13:41:05 +0000

I couldn't find a CMS that met all my needs, so I built this prototype. It works for my purposes.

I'm curious if anyone else finds it interesting or useful. If there's enough interest, I may continue working on it.

Feedback welcome!

You can run the decryption locally. The code is on git. The bigger concern is that the League of Entropy will disband and delete their keys permanently.

FYI - this has used 33% of Cloudflare's daily free tier limit for workers since I posted this 3 hours ago.

Every pageview and API call is an invocation. You get 100,000 calls per day for free.

Yes, essentially. However, the 'pinky-promisers' are large, well-funded, geographically distributed organizations that have strong incentives, both in terms of reputation and operations, to keep their promise

That's a good point. Not sure how to do that right now

This is simply a web interface built on top of the timelock encryption system posted by Cloudflare last week. https://blog.cloudflare.com/harnessing-office-chaos
