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…

This is a hilarious nit-pick. In the context of an internet blog describing average page-size, it's completely obvious that mb == MB ... not millibars...

There's an insane amount of abbreviations and acronyms that have multiple meanings in different contexts. How many Wikipedia pages have [disambiguation] here?...

Earlier quoted context omitted.

If you have static generated website and a CDN, why do you need Lambda/Function? Or do you mean these as a set to pick and chose from?

The lambda would generate the static website after I type words into a webpage and then upload that site to the CDN. It would also be the code behind the web page where I write the words.

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…

I don't even want to have a medium.com account for their crappy UI and hostile paywalls, but I doubt those who use medium regularly actually discover new blogs. HN is one of my primary sources to read new things, and I'm already blind to medium's footer read-more links.

I wish there was something like this for math blogs. I've tried Jekyll with MathJax but it looks kind of ugly. Any suggestions anyone?

You can visit https://upmath.me/ and on the preview side, choose `md`. You can get latex equation as SVG URL hosted on s2cms.ru CDN. It's pretty fast and supports any website that supports markdown+images without the need for MathJax or Katex. Example post here https://katr.bearblog.dev/latex/

This looks exactly like what I've been searching for all this while. Do you plan to release a self hosted/open source version of this? The one thing that makes me uncomfortable about a blogging service - what happens if they shut down?

Things I would like in a blogging platform: * Generate lightweight static website * Good clean default CSS so I don't have to mess with it * Automatically upload website to CDN and trigger expirations as necessary. * Self-hosted * Runs on AWS Lambda or any other Function as a Service equivilient * Has a super lightweight CMS that I can easily use on both desktop and mobile, so if I have ideas I can start writing anyw…

Quick Question: Why is self-hosted a thing that's highly desirable on HN?
