Using a Cloudflare Worker to implement a web 0.9 feature

[hahahaa]

Yeah seems overkill. Back in the day (1990s) you'd use a serverless script in the "Personal HomePage" language.

These days you could do this in client side JS, mayhe fetch the static list from a Gitgub blob or one of the sites in the group.

Pardon, how do you do a serverless php page?

[hahahaa]

Well, shared hosts let you upload the PHP file via FTP (or secure FTP if lucky!) to ~/public_html and serve it without administering a server.

[loloquwowndueo]

That’s still running on a server.

(Sorry, I guess “serverless” is not a buzzword I’ll ever understand)

[willmartian]

Serverless is just a server that has been abstracted away enough by magical APIs to let you (partially) ignore the underlying physical machines.

[hahahaa]

Yeah I was being tounge in cheek calling a PHP script serverless because technically it is (no need to install stuff and configure a server) but it predates the hype days. Like calling a word doc "nosql"

This should be just a static page… Cloudflare pages are perfect for this. All updating could be done in the repo by special scripts from MD or some other files.

[inigyou]

Please, just don't use Cloudflare anything. They are an evil monopoly akin to Google, or the Microsoft of yesterdecade. They MITM about a third of all web traffic and block humans arbitrarily.

[hoppp]

Why not. It's easy.
