    Thank you! These are great questions > Why S3 rather than an entirely free service like netlify, github pages, or surge? I wanted to start with something that was simple and scalab…

    With all my frustrations with medium, I decided to build a desktop app--for myself, and maybe to monetize later. It's basically the medium WSYWYG editor combined with a static site…
