It's a free and really good CDN to help with caching. Forgot to mention that Ghost also has a great native app that makes it really nice to manage your ghost blog. It's a really well done platform and something that you can enjoy using once setup and you know your way around it.
Good points Eric! Thanks a lot, will dig deeper into it. 🙏🏻
Go with Ghost. You can now set it up on a $5/month DO droplet and then throw cloudflare in front of it. If you do it that way, I would say don't set it up with the one-click option and just follow the Ghost docs docs.ghost.org/v1.0.0/docs/in… . I had a couple issues before with the one-click and ended up following their setup guides and it went nice and quick and works really well.
Hi Eric, thanks for putting your thoughts here! 🙂
May I know the reason behind the usage of Cloudflare in front of Ghost?
Like what we're trying to do here. Also, if the chosen one is not Ghost, should we still use Cloudflare?

Nice! Let me know when you do. I need to figure something out for a couple projects that I've hit a wall with naming, but will focus on finally figuring soon.
Sweet, give me few days and I will send you a link before release! We manage to generate 400+ cool names each run, so this should be enough to find some gem ;)
Very very good. I actually need to get on reading it again soon, or at least reviewing my notes on it.

Second person to recommend me this book. Must be good.
Thanks!

Big ups for this one. It covers so much in practice and theory. Very re-readable, as others have said.

Trello & PostIt Notes -> Trello is where I get an overall view and organize everything. I then take the main task for the day and make postit notes to then keep me focused on one task at a time and only have one view of it. For my Trello To-Do board, it's arranged from left to right like this: Building > Done > Doing Now > To Do Today > To Do Tomorrow > To Do This Week > To Do Next Week > To Do This Month > To Do This Year
If you listen to Syntax.fm with Wes Bos there's an episode (I don't remember which) where they go over what they use for video hosting and why they chose it. Probably be a good listen and it's a great podcast anyways.
Yeah thanks! I love Wes Bos! If I remember well he's using Vimeo as well.
Hey! Thanks, I should be doing a soft launch of MN soon to WIP with a bunch of free lifetime codes for WIP members to access all that I'm planning on including. The "maker link" is actually thanks to Pieter Levels. I can't seem to find the original link that he posted a while back so you can just grab it from here ➡️ www.notion.so/ericlima/Maker-…
