Could you contrast this with Netlify? I believe they are in the same segment but I haven't used either.
Netlify doesn't have a database

#72I 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…
The problem is he's not marketing his product here on HN for his benefit. He's not writing up a post about his ideas and process of creating his product, just spamming the forum for exposure. The mods really have to crack down on this type of viral self serving marketing, or it'd just encourage more people to do the same. On top of that, it's a shittier product that other people have done and done better at the same cost. Maybe post it somewhere where people are actually looking for this product.

#73Love 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 pla…
Thank you! :) Pro members get 1GB of storage and some other features: https://pro.1mb.site (coming soon)
Nice to hear! Sounds like you have a great product AND a plan :)

Thanks for sharing your unfounded opinion. Also in regards to posting my product somewhere where people are looking for it.. Hacker News was obviously the right choice with all these upvotes and site traffic ;)

#75Looks sweet. I might actually use this. A few questions: 1. Why a custom JS-based CLI tool for deployment? What does it do? Why not something like plain SSH? 2. What is the plan for this? Presumably you'll want to monetize the project? Will you ever add ads to my sites? Or will you offer premium features? 3. What's the reason for the NoSQL DB? 4. Your CLI tool only allows .png files as images. Is there a reason you d…
1. This tool allows you to deploy all files in your directory to your site. If you were using the API directly you’d need to deploy each file individually. 2. It was monetized in the past but Gumroad banned my account because they consider web hosts to be a risky business. I’m re-implementing Pro soon (more info: https://pro.1mb.site ) 3. It just seemed like the most logical way to store and retrieve data with JavaSc…
Can u tell about your experience getting banned?
Were u allowed to withdraw your balance? What r u switching too?

#76I haven't tried this yet but it reminds me of the spirit of GeoCities.
For years now I've been hoping that one day the wheel of internet trends will roll back around and make personally-designed webpages a thing again instead of this bland "social media" landscape.

Dude, if I just want to put a page online, the last thing I want to have to deal with is SSH... Have browser, will content.
SSH/SFTP is a standard protocol. Their API is not. Many more devices support sftp than their API. I don’t always have a browser, but I often have ssh.

I’m curious, when a young person, a friend, or an inexperienced developer at your company asks for your opinion about something they’ve made, do you respond with: it’s a shittier product that other people have done better?
Re: Show HN: 1MB – Free and easy static website hosting and database
#80Is the 1MB name a reference to data limit? I couldn't see anything saying so but that's what sprang to mind.
I like it. Some people have expressed concerns about yet another platform which holds your data. I don't actually have a problem with that as long as you can leave without being penalized. A good way to alleviate those concerns might be a feature where you could download all of your site data along with a guide to setting it up self hosted.
