They violently break all the recent frontend best practices. Where is the React or Vie, SPA architecture, tons of JS? There should be a federal law prohibiting making fast and simple UIs so that nobody will have concerns that the UI frameworks war leads us to great future.

I'm sorry, sarcasm is not the best way to communicate an important point here at Hacker News. I appreciate the attempt at humor, but, it's not funny.

HN is often accused of being humorless but it's not true. The community simply has higher standards. Deadpan is your baseline, build from there.

There’s not even any analytics or trackers. The shame!

Perhaps one could use greasemonkey to inject Google analytics into arbitrary sites. (And load some font, and perhaps have a 20 second timeout somewhere.)

Reverse-reader view! Isn't there a bookmarklet that Geocities-ifies pages somewhere, same idea.

Before people downvote Clarkevans, please consider that this itself might be sarcasm and this is some new form of meta humor.

It's written in Python so as soon as they have enough users it will be as slow as any webpage with tons of JS. Thankfully, that CPU load won't be on the client side... so it's still an improvement

Are you sure? Looks like static pre-generated page to me:

  $ curl -s https://sourcehut.org/|egrep 'meta.*gen'

Monthly operational costs: $783 Maybe there is a relation?

Where did you get that from?

Not sure about that figure but there's https://lists.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/sr.ht-discuss/%3CBVRVZEWYB30Q..... Looks like their monthly expenses were around $1,200 going in to Q2.

The tool is open source, and none of the services you listed support Mercurial, so...

But it's not standalone so everyone can use it privately, it only works for your service.

If it's open source then surely you, or someone, could modify it for other services.

Moaning when someone gave you free apples because you want apple pie; maybe make your own pastry.

The front end of the site it static but the backend of the service seems to mostly by python.

The website/blog (https://sourcehut.org) is static, the Sourcehut app itself (https://sr.ht) is Python-based.
