Dear creators:

please, please, PLEASE set up your own web sites and distribute your work from there.

If you post your work only on Twitter and/or Reddit, it's gonna disappear. Soon.

@mwl You will still ended up losing your works if you did not pay your server monthly.

@yonle @mwl That’s one of the reasons to have a static site one can simply keep in a git repository with one version on a local machine, one in a codeforge of your choice and one that is actually live serving the site.

@baschdel @mwl You still need to relying on centralized service (codeforge) to store your static site as a backup anyway.

@yonle @mwl You don’t, you could be pushing directly to the server that hosts your site (git is awesome). On the flip side you could depend on whatever online IDE your codeforge offers and not have a local copy on the device(s) you use for editing. Fun fact: you can use any machine with git installed you have ssh access to as a private mini-codeforge (git headless mode).

In short a lot of options, but usually one goes with the “good enough” convenient one because 24 hours a day really aren’t that much.

@baschdel @mwl That's not the point.

If the git server that you push at is down, Then there the thing comes.
