i’m just manually moving a few of my projects manually to cloudflare (rewriting the server-side part to work with workers) and letting everything else die
![]()
might look at cloudflare too for my bots.
if we had 6 months or a year to migrate this wouldn’t be so bad. 6 weeks is nothing.
i don’t think cloudflare works for discord bots tho, only actual websites
definitely worth it for anything that does work with it tho.
yeah 6 weeks is NOT enough.
I don’t think I had seen anyone mention this yet, but I just deployed my node app over on railway and it wasn’t a horrible process. it’s a chatbot for a twitch streamer friend and needs to be very responsive for a few hours every day, so this works well. can host my static stuff there too and shouldn’t be too spendy either.
so how are everyone’s migrations going?
I’ve done 13 out of 28 static sites, and 0 out of 29 node apps so far
Using @tiago’s tool, I have downloaded all of my projects.
but have you deployed them anywhere else? I’ve been putting static sites on Netlify so far
try cloudflare pages for static websites, for node apps i just rewrote a bunch of them to be either:
- more modern so i can host them on my rpi
- be compatible with cloudflare workers
what is github.dev ? does that live within Github?
is this ready yet? i have no idea what to do? I need the EASIEST way to migrate all projects, I’m still a newbie starting out in frontend
@jennwrites Hi Jenn, I’m a complete noob to world of coding (just starting out in frontend devleopment). Is there the simplest way to migrate all projects elsewhere? Without having to download to many files or using the command line or something
27 days to go! how are everyone’s migrations going?
Just as a reminder: while it’s 27 days until hosting shutdown, if you haven’t migrated by then you still have until next year to download your projects after hosting shutdown, and you’ll still be able to log into your dashboard and set whatever redirects make sense for however many projects you’ve rehosted somewhere else after the shutdown.
@ribose hey, thanks for sharing! I’m checking out Neocities and it’s good, is it free to use with unlimited projects? i don’t want to move things over and then be hit with usage quotas and whatnot
neocities.org/supporter goes over what the free and $5/month plans offer!
It’s just like https://vscode.dev
have migrated a handful of node apps to val.town, and that’s gone pretty smoothly. will keep moving more there I think
Does anyone have ideas for where to go if you just need an HTML/CSS editor + live preview for total beginners? Is Codepen.io the only real option? We actually host our final projects elsewhere, but I’ve been relying on Glitch as a teaching tool, and I’m struggling to find something equally straightforward.
Hi, @thetechie, sorry for the delayed response, I was out of office for a family graduation trip. The easiest way would be to check out the migration guides in the help center. Without knowing the type of project/app/site, we can’t make specific recommendations on where to migrate – that choice is up to you, but you can definitely use this forum as a resource to discover where other community members are moving their projects.
Neocities is probably the best bet for HTML/CSS sites with an online editor
