Orbiter has everything you’ve probably asked for from a hosting platform in the past: ✅ Open source ✅ Blockchain-native ✅ IPFS decentralization ✅ ENS support ✅ Blazing fast ✅ Ridiculously easy So if you have a web app or website and you’re not using Orbiter, respond to this and let me know why. I’d love to better understand it and maybe talk about how you *could* use Orbiter instead. https://orbiter.host

I wrote this long before starting Orbiter, so if you're wondering how bought in I am to the simplicity that web hosting *should* be.

Added a special bullet point to Orbiter's pricing page to make it clear this is not just about features. It's about building something different and doing it independently.

Did you know you can have a static site and NOT have to write your blog posts in your code editor? Did you know you can have a static site and invite collaborators? This is where a headless CMS shines. I wrote a tutorial on how to use the Pages CMS with a static site and Orbiter. https://orbiter.host/blog/how-to-create-a-static-site-blog-with-a-headless-cms

Custom redirects and custom 404 page support is now live on Orbiter for paid plans. No more broken links! https://docs.orbiter.host/redirects

Hey @stevedylandev should we rewrite Orbiter’s web server (or daemon as Sir Tim Berners-Lee originally referred to it) in C? https://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/Daemon/JanetAndJohn.html

I’m very excited for the future of Orbiter. Because Steve and I only have a few hours per week to work on it, we’re forced to ruthlessly prioritize and I think we’ve done a good job only shipping things that will move the needle for customers.
