Hello, world
This is a sample post, written as plain HTML. No CMS, no database — just a
file sitting in public/blog/hello-world/index.html that gets
uploaded and served from whichever Cloudflare datacentre is closest to you.
Why this setup
A blog is mostly text and a few images. That means it can be entirely static, which is the cheapest and fastest thing a website can be:
- Requests for static assets are free and unlimited
- There is no charge for storing the files themselves
- No origin server to patch, reboot, or pay for
The best infrastructure for a personal blog is the kind you never have to think about again.
Adding images
Drop a file into public/ and reference it, like
<img src="/photo.jpg">. Keep each file under 25 MiB
and the whole site under 20,000 files and you'll never hit a limit.
