Cute!

I'm curious, why use netify and not just github pages? AFAICT your app is just a static page. If so, there's no reason you need netify (which IIUC will require $$$ knock you off eventually). Is there some tutorial/LLM/template you followed that used netify? Were you planning on adding serve side features, user accounts, galleries? Just curious.

I've had small static sites running on netlify for years, for free, never had any problems. I did so because I already have a site on github pages as well, so needed more free options.

What have you seen that would force people out of their free tier?

Every repo you make shows up at a different place. Is that no enough. If you care about enough the domain name then register a domain?

If that's not common then maybe I just have a bad memory.

Haha, you’re absolutely right! I had built my blog with Astro before, and the tutorial I followed used Netlify for deployment. So I just stuck with it. I don’t have any plans to add server-side features for now. Anyway, thanks for your reply!!
