All features work without JavaScript I'm not sure why this is a selling point. Yes, there are many upsides to this, particularly from the maintainer's standpoint, but I think it might just be a side-benefit that only certain users really care about. Eventually, there might be advantages to removing that "feature", and you might turn off users who joined largely because of it.

I see it as a reflection of the website's overall design stance: no frills, no stupid material design, no js junk scripts. Just a fast-loading website that loads what it needs to. This kind of website is quite refreshing in 2018.

Maybe one day it will have a tiny amount of JS, but let's cross that bridge when it comes. That's still better than the vast majority of modern websites built today.

This looks fantastic! One feature I would like to see in a service like this would be support for custom domains. Personally, I would be willing to pay extra for such a feature. It’s nice to have control of the domain for personal work, but self hosting for a handful of personal projects is a big ask - I would rather pay for someone to do it the right way.

Thanks for your feedback! This is definitely something I'm interested in adding in the future. I don't think I can prioritize it right now, because I have limited time to spend on sr.ht (I still have a day job), but I want to tackle it post-alpha.

Thanks for the response! I would definitely imagine a feature like this coming later on. Just signed up at $20/yr, and I hope everyone reading this does too... sr.ht is something that desperately needs to exist!

Drew, please keep doing phenomenal work.

Other stuff I'd love to see once sr.ht is more mature would be nice, clean, UNIX-ey alternatives to GitHub Pages and github.io. I'll be looking forward to OpenBSD support, especially for running CI jobs on as well.

My feedback: - It's left aligned, which makes it harder to use on an ultrawide, with the content in the first 1/3 of the page. Having a max-width on the main container and center aligning it would be great - Emails are GPG signed! Even if the usefulness is small, it's a awesome feature - Pricing seems good, but I would charge more. 3$, 8$, 15$, if following the pricing scheme you have. I know I'd be happy to pay for…

Makes sense for everything! Great product, I will definitely check it out as it grows and probably buy a subscription.

Great, thanks for your support! I definitely intend to implement something similar to GitHub pages, but even more powerful - how about using any static site generator you want? OpenBSD support is also coming soon!

That would be excellent. I have my own solution[1]... being able to have everything built with a CI job on one platform would be great!

Just signed up. I like the old fashioned user URL, reminds me the age of public_html https://lists.sr.ht/~ontouchstart BTW, please add a nice 404 so people won't see that you're running nginx/1.14.0 :-) https://sr.ht/~ontouchstart

> BTW, please add a nice 404 so people won't see that you're running nginx/1.14.0 :-)

Actually simply adding a custom 404 page won't hide the webserver/version, as it is also sent along the HTTP response headers.

For nginx specifically, one can use the `server_tokens off;` directive, which hides the version (but not the webserver). Brings back memories of when I used to recompile the webserver to remove this header :)

Of course for UX a custom 404 page is great. Congratulations, Sir_Cmpwn, this is just awesome and I'll soon be subscribing.

Awesome! Check out how I currently deploy my blog:

https://builds.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/drewdevault.com

https://builds.sr.ht/api/jobs/10416/manifest

If you already have a server to host the static content on, you can use this today.
