Ever since MacOS broke Gimp I use Photopea regularly! Fantastic site!
Please tell more about this ‘MacOS broke Gimp’ thing, because it's the first time I hear of that and I'd like to dodge a firsthand experience.

I used it successfully on my Mac last week. It's still GIMP (bleh!) but it works.
You can consider Affinity Photo
I often wonder why so many companies seem to spend tens of thousands of dollars per month on AWS services for their hosting. If most web apps nowadays are just CRUD apps, then why would you need to spend more than €300/month on hosting? All you'd need is data and the website itself, right? I'm currently clicking through various European hosting services and they seem to offer great dedicated servers at good prices. I…
Also, you know what you're getting security-wise with AWS, and no one will blame you when your website / service goes down because AWS is down.
Uh, so how does cloudflare do it, since the answer is basically "cloudflare". They have sweet deals with the cloud providers?

Cloudflare is currently operating at a close to break-even loss.
Sure, because we're hiring like crazy to build new things. As we said during our last earnings call, we intend to stay at break even as long as we can achieve extraordinary revenue growth and continue to deliver innovative new products. The more relevant number for this comparison would be our gross margin — much we have to spend on things like bandwidth and servers to service our customers divided by the revenue tho…

It's astonishing how many times the author conflates browser cache-able assets with cached assets on a CDN. When a browser downloads a static asset if the web server is configured properly those files will be cached and there won't be a need to…
If anything, I’m fine with a new competitor to BigCloud that’s been unchecked and increasingly hostile (cost-wise).
If you are worried about getting your blog post to the top of Reddit or Hacker News (I've never been there myself); you can have a very modest web server or even a pay per request serverless sort of thing and pay $20 real quick to Cloudflare if you happen to get popular. It's the Bart Simpson method of highly scalability[0], for static content you can have global datacenter coverage in a couple minutes or so if you u…
I tend not to realise when my site goes viral, as I'm based in Australia whereas my largest audience is in b the US (and I'm a bit of a Luddite!)
I was running www.Photopea.com with 10M page views a month for $40 a year. Now, I upgraded to $60 a month. I never used any CDN.

FYI I tried to bookmark it with cmd-D, but the app has hijacked that combo!
