Hi HN, I built LastSignal because I was uncomfortable trusting a third party with extremely sensitive information (final messages, recovery instructions, etc.). LastSignal is a self-hosted dead man's switch: you prepare encrypted messa

Hi, and many thanks for your comment :-) Currently the search engine we offer with HardyPress is very simple: we index the site content during the deploy process and we provide APIs to retrieve results (or you can use our native modal box w

Yep, you get the point. Plugin support is a real challenge... anyway we are seriously building a white list of compatible plugins, and so far they are about 90% of the total. For the remaining 10% it is usually always possible to replace t

Ok, about this we will release soon a new feature where users will be able to deploy their static site on a custom ftp/sftp server. Adding a git repo as destination won't be a problem :-)

I see your point, but I also think that most of the value in what we are offering here is the ability to turn WordPress on/off on demand, so you can forget about it after the changes. How could this be achieve without hosting files and

Actually there are a couple of things that I'd like to clarify: 1) There is no WordPress backend to maintain as it doesn't exists unless you turn it on in a temporary/hidden/virtual environment to make your changes. For

There are already some plugins that "staticize" your website, but 1) you still need to have and maintain secure the WordPress Installation somewhere. With HardyPress WP can be paused and restored when needed with a click. 2) you h

Many thanks Jason for your effort on posting it on ProductHunt. We were thinking of postponing the launch on PH when the new version of the site is ready, but that's okay :-) You don't need to transfer the domain to us (we are not

You can use some external service like Disqus, Discourse or similar.

Actually with those plugin you still have some drawback: first you still need to have and maintain secure the live WordPress installation somewhere, second you have to download the static version and upload it somewhere else, last but not l

There is huge differences between running a live WordPress site on a docker container (where you still have php, mysql, etc), and running it as a static site in a serverless environment.

Yep, like for every hosting solution ;-)

Many thanks for your thoughts :-) Actually yes, we are a new hosting company, but the live site is hosted an a AWS-S3 bucket with a CDN in front of it, so, even if you don't trust us, I could feel quite safe with it. In my personal exp

The "admin" lives in a random-generated subdomain, is basic-auth protected and is alive only for the time needed for the editor to make the changes through the dashboard. For the rest of the time WordPress simply doesn't exis

As Steffoz said below: "Most WordPress websites are just "brochure websites": they don't expose anything dynamic to their visitors excluding comments, contact forms and search functionality. We already handle these scena
