I've been using Harp for about 3 months and really like the sweet spot they have found between a bucket of static files and a full-blown web app stack. It's a very new paradigm and you probably need to try it to fully appreciate it.
- ruemic 13y agoWe're offering another flavor in this same "value add static hosting" paradigm with BitBalloon. https://www.bitballoon.com https://www.bitballoon.com So far we don't deal with the authoring abstraction layer. Our focus is on solving deployment by automating performance optimization like asset bundling, caching & CDN integration. The big vision is to provide static hosting for the programmable web. We make HTML forms work and provide an API for sending the input wherever you want. This OAuth2 based API also handles deploying sites, injecting code snippets, and updating individual files. The real moonshot here is developing a standard similar to JSON Patch for updating HTML via PATCH requests. If Harp, or anyone reading this is interested in this idea, we'd love to collaborate on developing a spec.
