                                      • and you can serve your static sites with custom domain names

                                                  i understand you need to generate a new keypair and then sign your new public key with old one and propagate to the network... how do you practically do that?

                                                    as i read more reviews, i'm realizing just how much breaks when leaving the iphone ecosystem. apple has so many hooks in my setup... :(

                                                                                                      an issue tracker and code review system feel like a lot of overhead, but i suppose that's the core value people are actually willing to pay for.

                                                                                                        why? because some site scripts need to know the location of the src directory even for dry run

                                                                                                        also for testing purposes it generates an index pages with total size of all photos in bytes. loving it!
