Be a part of the movement against frameworks and bloat with us!

Step 1: Buy a cheap domain and cheap hosting plan for like $8 a month.

Step 2: Load in a ton of genuine content that you can use HTML and CSS to make look pretty.

Step 3: If you need to transform data in some way, either do it in javascript or embed a link to a video demo of external software.

Step 4: Use a 3rd party tool to accept payment by credit card.

Step 5: Promote your content and grow a community via 3rd party community sites like HN, youtube, reddit, twitch, etc etc

semi-OT: curious why you submitted the medium post instead of the version on your website?
I do not have a good reason. A lot of my recent stuff isn't technical, so it's only on the Medium pages. I guess I tend to post those links often now.
