Html

More and more sites are written in flat HTML. Hosted on GitHub pages, S3, etc. The advantages are clear: ridiculously low to no hosting costs, it can hardly ever break, and with things like Jekyll and Octopress it can still be fun to maintain. And with JavaScript frameworks such as Angular you could build entire apps clientside. The downsides are clear too: no central point of knowledge makes interaction between users hard. However with services like Disqus, and (my own startup) Transloadit, it gets more and more feasible to just run a flat site and have external services cover for not running serverside code and a database yourself. In this post I'm going to show you how easy it is to make file uploading possible even if your site is just a single page of HTML.

Hi. Have you met KvzHTML? It's a standalone PHP Class for generating HTML. It's been hiding deep inside the caverns of my secret GitHub repo: kvzlib - a collection of code snippets too small or unfinished to deserve their own repository. But I find working with this class so pleasant, I thought I'd share the fun.
