    Maybe should add "with Cloudflare Workers" to the headline

    Because hosting a blog inside a subdirectory is like the most trivial webserver thing ever

      Are we not just doing static html for blogs anymore?

        We could just enable auto-index and drop a bunch of .txt files into it.

        That doesn’t sound bloated enough. Too fast. Gonna give a user whiplash.

          .htaccess that rewrites the .txt to serve the file as an .html extension. With help from bash you then append a bootstrap v3 CSS library to all files.

          Using websockets for post updates this feeds in to a webview component powered by django that interacts with an Angular PHP parser using Wordpress as the database translation layer that a python daemon watches and dumps the wordpress entry back in to a text file.

          You then render this in to a shadow DOM with react and include Vue.js and Next.js to create a carousel and landing page boilerplate.

      I wanted to but it said it exceeds the character limit

        I was hoping this was a joke about storing your blog text AS the subdirectory name.

    (2025) At the time (on a different domain, but not in a subdirectory) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46050069

      Yes I switched the domain. But davidma.co redirects to davidma.org.

      • gnabgib 5 hours ago

        It doesn't presently (maybe a config issue?) Cloudflare just never responds:

        > Connecting to www.davidma.co(more..)

        > HTTP request sent, awaiting response... (timeout)

    I'm not trying to be rude here, but this doesn't belong on this site. This is like posting documentation on CloudFlare for a tutorial that isn't remotely a feature.

    This is somehow news? I was doing this 30 actual years ago.

    Long before Google and Cloudflare stunk up the internet.
