looks cool. good job.

Amazon already uses a similar term. Consider renaming yours to avoid confusion.

Decide for yourself, either use it or don't.

really really cool. I've shared it in a facebook group for front end devs that I'm part of.

One minor issue: Your search bar doesn't look like one :) I didn't notice it until my second visit.

your headline is good except the term "serverless". please drop it. The term means much more than "not hosting it on a server". As somebody pointed out, "embedded datastore" may be a better term.

have you considered using babel?

Great work man with IT! I'm on your email list and watching what you're up to regularly :)

What I would like to see in your future written interviews or podcast (a podcast would be great; I'll subscribe immediately!), is more emphasis on how they got the right customers and how they grew their customer base.

Jekyll/Lektor as a static CMS. Deployed to Amazon S3 backed by Cloudfront CDN.

All of this gives me: ease of deploy, AWS's reliable infrastructure, ultra fast website (can easily score 90+ out of 100 on google's pagespeed insights tool), delivered over SSL with a free certificate on my own domain, "infinite" scale, etc.

All of this can literally run on cents of a dollar per month.

Thanks, I have not thought about that. I figured (hoping) that it would be ok if this is a free project for the community.

Hi HN, I wanted to read PG's essays but for such long content, I prefer audio. So I made a podcast out of his essays.

I generated the audio automatically with Amazon Polly, AWS's lifelike text-to-speech offering. It reads impressively well like a human. I thought you'd find it useful. It's available on iTunes as well (you'll find the link on the website)

It was not all straightforward though. For example, there is currently a limit of 1500 characters to be translated per request. I also have to merge all of the audio parts in order.

I'd like to invite you to check it out. If you have any advice on how to improve this, do let me know.

Jeshan.

love it! great work keep it up!

Thanks. what are you listening to nowadays? (tech/non-tech)
