TL;DR

Vercel has been a PITA for a few reasons I won’t go into, and I eventually reached a usage limit that made the site unusuable. Cloudflare pages has no usage limits, so I have switched to that. Nothing different should be noticable, except that initial loads might be slightly faster.

if you don’t like cloudflare

I understand lots of people dislike cloudflare, so if you want to get away from it, here are some publicly hosted instances:

Instance Location Contact
phtn.app (Official) 🇺🇸 US West photon@xylight.dev
photon.thesanewriter.com 🇺🇸 US East thesanewriter@lemmy.thesanewriter.com
p.darrennathanael.com 🇮🇩 ID West noc@darrennathanael.com
phtn.ngn.tf 🇹🇷 Turkey services@ngn.tf
lm.sudovanilla.org 🇺🇸 US East hello@sudovanilla.org (behind 1 version)

You can also selfhost it if you’d like.

git clone https://github.com/Xyphyn/photon
cd photon
npm install && ADAPTER=node npm run build
node ./build/index.js
