Earlier quoted context omitted.

I’ve been running 1MB for over half a year and it’s my passion project. I’m constantly improving and adding new features to it. 1MB makes money from Pro upgrades it’s just temporarily unavailable. I want to run this project for years to come. https://pro.1mb.site

half a year isn't /that/ long. I do wish for you to succeed, so I'll keep my fingers crossed! ;-)

All companies start at 1 day old. 1MB isn’t going anywhere.

This looks super cool! And I love that this is run by an indie dev and not some VC-backed startup or big corporation. Definitely bookmarking this so that I can come back to it and see what I can build once I have time.

Thank you! :)

Any sort of git/GitHub integration features (or planned) ? Eg, I saw mention of code/theme editor, and working git into that would make some sense.

How would that Git implementation look to you?

In the GitHub integration, it could watch for changes in a repository (there's a webhook for that) and then 1mbsite would fetch the files and deploy them.

Git integration is like Heroku. The user types `git push 1mbsite master` and 1mbsite would publish it.

Am I supposed to see something here? https://i.imgur.com/WNBbIep.png

“Securely access a NoSQL database using nothing but JavaScript

With permissions, enforced fields, and the ability to get the logged in 1MB username you can easily create a dynamic application. Check out chat.1mb.site and forum.1mb.site which are both applications that utilize a 1MB database.

Click here to read the API documentation.” looks like inspect element lol

I don't know why everyone is being so negative in the comments so far. It's really discouraging to other people who want to share something they made. It makes me sad. OP: This is cool. It's not meant to replace Netlify or GH Pages or a million other things, and I understand that. Some people just want to make something and you made something. You've done more than so many people here by just releasing something and…

I hear ya. The tone / atmosphere on HN can be underwhelming at times.

One of the main reasons I show up here is to see what others are charing. That said, those doing Show HN should probably scan some other Show HN's to get a sense of what people are looking for.

- What is it? High level. - Why should I care? That is, what's in it for me. - Along the same lines, benefits (not features) - What is it? Deeper, the technology behind it. - What makes it different (and perhaps better)? - If it free, assure me (or not) I'm not the product. - Along the same lines, be upfront about what you might do - or not - with any data using the product might provide. - Why? Why did you do this? There's a difference between launching some cookie cutter product and a side project for learning / exploring.

When I get around to it, I'm going to do a proper blog post on this list.

Love it, but one suggestion:

I'd change the headline to "1MB – Free and easy static website hosting and database".

That database is the edge you have compared to Netlify and Github pages people are asking for :)

The authentication part is a nice touch, too. Feels more like a community thing.

Checked out the API and you even have easy to setup database permissions. I like it.

Questions: do you plan to offer paid plans for people wishing to host more than 1MB, or having paid support? Maybe paid private login workspaces and SSO could be a paid feature too.
