Small suggestion -- it seems like you're using the wrong units (or maybe abbreviations) for your displayed average page sizes. You're using lower-case b to indicate bits, but I suspect you mean upper-case B to indicate bytes? Also, the lower-case k is the correct prefix for 1,000, but lower case m is milli, or 1/000. You want M for mega, which is 1,000,000. Also if you really want to be precise you should consider wh…

mb means millibars to you in the context of file size? How does that make any sense?

Well of course when you have enough 'file' in one place it starts to exert outward pressure

Step two, draw the rest of the owl. :) While this might be a fun exercise, it's more involved than deploying some code to Lambda.

Fwiw, Working Copy on iOS is a good git client.

You have many requirements to blog. Blogging is substance over style. Not much required.

There's no simple commercial solution that does exactly this that I know of, but you can get very close with Google Cloud Functions, a GitHub Pages site, and a Google Sheets spreadsheet as a datastore. Not static, but it is fast, and you get a 'CMS' for free (the spreadsheet). Plus all of these services can be used completely for free.

Since HN seems to be on a blog-kick lately, I'll repost the idea that I'm still waiting for someone to build: A blogverse of some kind that allows for algorithmic discoverability & aggregation (ala Medium) without the bullshit/terrible UX. The real value proposition of Medium is that a well-made aggregator benefits readers and writers alike. Readers find more authors they like, writers find more audience. There are a…

Sure thing. Going to open source it after it's done. I have been thinking of using activity pub and making discovery decentralized so people can host their own curation and share with each other.
