What do you mean "fully owned"? There is no mention of that in the post
Edit: I guess you mean the content itself is still on your machine if the services go away, and you can choose to host them elsewhere

By "fully owned," I mean that I control the entire stack:
- Content is just Markdown files in my local Obsidian vault
- Hugo builds the site locally - no dependency on external editors or platforms
- GitHub is just used for version control and deployment
- Cloudflare Pages handles static hosting, but I can move it elsewhere anytime

#5Is the domain name free too?

#6I'm curious about the pros and cons of Cloudflare pages versus GitHub pages. Given that you're using GH as a repo, would it be simpler to also use it to serve pages?

#7Very cool. I first setup my blog way back in the 90s and wrote the HTML by hand and used FTP to get it on the server. Then moved to phpslash and slashcode, Drupal and then Wordpress. Probably something else in there too. This setup feels much closer to how I was doing it in the 90s in some ways. It kind of feels like we've come full circle!

While "fully owned" is ambiguous, the only other term I can think of here would be "fully portable", which has other connotations, so it's probably the best term for this.
Would be nice to coin an unambiguous term for this as it's a useful design goal.

This was written assuming you already have a domain. If not, then yes that would be an additional cost.

#10For me it's (neo)vim, 11ty and netlify. I've be using netlify for years before CF launched their worker/pages offering.
I however use CF workers a lot to deploy single-purpose webapps for my personal use.
