Sandstorm would have been nice, but I think a reasonable way to go nowadays might be to write software so that it’s easily deployed on Netlify or Deno Deploy and encourage people to fork your repo and run their own website.
You’re still writing software for others to use, but you don’t take responsibility for their uptime or content.
It’s a little bit of a barrier because you need to create two free accounts (including GitHub) and learn your way around. Part of open source in practice is education and I think teaching people enough so they can edit a file on GitHub would be empowering, even if that’s as far as they go.
Those are services I’ve used that have a free tier and seem pretty low-maintenance. What would be other good choices for this sort of thing?
