I need a cheaper alternative to DeployHQ because I’m at my 10 project limit and I don’t want to pay 2x more (I have lots of tiny side projects).
An obvious choice is GitHub Actions, but it looks kind of hard and also I hate YAML. Typically all I need to do is an npm or composer build, then transfer the contents of the output folder to my server.
Anyone know a good, easy alternative or do I just need to suck it up and figure out GitHub Actions?
I need to turn this thought into a blog post, but I’ve come to appreciate AlpineJS as a valuable tool when making home-cooked apps. No build step and you can immediately string together interactivity.
You’d want to be more careful if making a thing for other people—making sure you server-render what you can, don’t rely on too much client-side rendering, and don’t get too sloppy with the js-in-html code.
But for an app just for me? Weee… I can go so fast.
When I want to make a bulleted list using markdown, I use…
Everyone is a snob about something and I think I’m a line-height snob.
Don't use 1.5 as a blanket default. Use your eyes.
I updated HTML for People with some small but important improvements. I added a bit more explanation and resources around folder creation and relative URLs.
A lot of people inquired about a downloadable version. At some point I’d love to make a nice PDF. But for now I’ve added a printable version (see link in footer) that’s got everything on one page. You can save that to PDF.
Many thanks to everyone who has given feedback, suggested corrections, or filed issues!

This HTML for People announcement has 1,999 boosts. 👀
I remember it being a breath of fresh air to learn HTML and write it myself compared to wrestling with the free web authoring tools I had at the time.
I found this page on a freeware gaming site I used to run. This post in 2005 was an update where I had moved from no-code web software to writing HTML directly.
Text: I have redesigned the site. This time using straight HTML! Why? I was tired of using the authoring software I had because it made updating a hassle. I'm eliminating the "middle-man," so to speak. It's helping me learn HTML by doing it this way. Plus, the site probably loads a lot faster. So it works out for all of us in the end!
This track is so beautiful to me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dIUFC6o0eo

If it wasn’t for blogs, I wouldn’t know anything.
I’m primarily a Firefox user so I’m only now noticing that my code samples in HTML for People weren’t being syntax highlighted properly in Chrome. That’s now fixed.
Oopsie.
Has anyone compiled a list of HTML web components?
I’m absolutely blown away by the response HTML for People has received so far. Wow. I really appreciate the kind words, feedback, and bug reports!
I’m getting tons of boosts and replies right now and am having trouble keeping up. Just wanted to say two things real quick:
1. THANK YOU! People are being so nice and supportive and I really appreciate it.
2. I had some DNS issues going on there for a minute but I now have a temporary fix in place.
