"However many requests per second we feel like serving"

probably closer to the truth of competing cloud providers than it has any right to be

Heads up for the creator: putting everything under ugliest.app allows pages to read the same cookies across different "apps". If anyone plans to use the platform for production (which you appear to welcome), nothing substantial can be done.

I forgot what made github.com switch to github.io. Something similar but totally separate.

Same reason: to prevent user-generated/user-hosted content from being able to read GitHub.com cookies.

I love this, but it doesn't look like server-side language is Turing complete. It can only read, write, and delete rows; branches on admin; and returns a random number. Is it possible to extend the language in a way defining functions, if stmt and for loops are possible?

Since it already has if, I wonder if I can branch on things other than "admin".

EDIT: I stand corrected, looks like using `range .. end` you can actually loop.

EDIT2: if also works:

    {{ if (rando 0 1) }}
     a
    {{ else }}
     b
    {{ end }}

prints a or b non deterministically.

EDIT3: I wish it supported operations like equality, addition, etc

@bloopbloop10000 is there a way to html escape in the template language?

To maximise your valuation, just make sure you don’t have any customers or revenue.

Have it be multicloud and serverless.
