Looks succinct and minimalistly practical. Is it totally open-source in the sense that I can replicate the 1mb.site on my own server using 3-4 the repos published on Github?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
He could have put "Show HN" in the title. But you seem unaware that this is one of the functions of this website. In fact, there's an entire section for it with a link in the header: https://news.ycombinator.com/show Show HN is suppose to be helpful criticism and feedback. Calling it a "shittier product" is entirely uncalled for. Not just for the language, but because it's entirely unconstructive. It helps no one.
I apologize for not using the proper title. I was unaware.
OVH also offers a 10MB free hosting with Let's Encrypt for every domain, probably more reliable
Alright I found the link. OVH’s 10MB plan only has 1 GB of monthly bandwidth while 1MB’s is unmetered (fair use - don’t abuse). OVH’s 10MB plan doesn’t give you access to a database while 1MB gives you access to a secure NoSQL database. In closing they have more storage but they make up for that by taking away some core functionality that 1MB offers. https://www.ovh.co.uk/domains/start10m_hosting_offer.xml
Is making the front page of HN and doing 50gb in one day "abuse"?

Thank you! You can’t self-host 1MB, but we do offer some open source software on our repo at https://GitHub.com/1MB
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…
Regarding 1MB: looks like a good idea for teaching people how to get a simple website on the web. Like many here, I grew up in the age of Geocities and similar services.
I'm happy to have high quality services like Netlify available for me, but we need more indie services to serve as entry points for newcomers. Netlify and co. may change; we're already centralizing development workflows too much (e.g. GitHub).
More power to small creators using their resources to open up spaces for other creators.

The existence of another sandwich shop, even a successful and tasty one, doesn't mean I can't open up one of my own - or that my sandwiches need be exposed to constant criticism for lacking some arbitrary ingredient such as, say, tarragon or sage. Not all websites need to offer the digital equivalent of say beansprouts with hollandaise spread even if you really like that (it sounds magnificent tbh).
Nor do they need a new spin on sandwiches or a new innovation in sandwichcraft. All they need is to execute well: offer fair prices, quality service, and use decent ingredients. That's quite enough. It's not the French Laundry, ok fine, who cares?
We are at a point of tech where people are opening up internet sandwich shops. That's fine. A well executed me-too nothing-new thing is totally absolutely fine. The internet is big enough for all of us. Have a good time and enjoy building stuff.

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 techn…
