What's simpler about this than just uploading .html files? This seems actually very complicated for what it does.

  I was going to say, just upload .txt

  Just uploading HTML files won't teach you how to use Cloudflare workers and their KV store.

    A "simple text blog" shouldn't need to use anything of the sort.
    • simonw 2y ago
      Sure, but you're getting hung up on the link title and not the actual substance. Imagine if the title was this instead: "Show HN: a simple text blog demonstrating how to use Cloudflare workers and KV store"

      Would simple text chatroom demand the kv?
      • krapp 2y ago
        No.
        • evbogue 2y ago
          Yah, I guess you could use WebRTC or some other way of exchanging messages now that I think about it.
          • krapp 2y ago
            You don't even need realtime. You can get away with just having people POST to a backend, updating a database and letting people refresh the page.

              Why do all that when you could have the server write simple text files to the disk?
              • krapp 2y ago
                You need interaction for a chatroom, so you at least need a form somewhere.

                  This is genius. But can we add an input field for the username?
