Show HN: I built an open-source web hosting platform for static
sites
HI Hacker News! I'm very excited to show you this project I have
been working on, MarkdownSite.com. For folks who interact with the
website, it is a web hosting platform where you can add your
repository and have a website built from the `public/` directory.
Files in `site/` with an `.md` extension are rendered from markdown
to HTML, and the website is then available at a random subdomain.
For folks that set up their own instance, it can also become a
framework for customized building. The entire project is open
source and I tried my best to document and explain the structure of
the machines and how they interact in various mermaid graphs in the
readme files under the `devops/` folder. There is still a lot of
work to be done, I hope that you find this useful. It's been super
fun to work on!
