This is a working homepage generator platform, using a Bun/Elysia backend app (essentially NodeJS) and a React front-end app with PayPal integration. It was designed to work behind an NGINX reverse proxy and needs a CORS setup (user uploads are stored in an S3 compatible endpoint).

It uses a Postgres database with a custom Bun replication app across multiple hosts. The frontend measures connection speed and connects to the quickest backend host.

The app is fully localized and includes a language-aware forum help system, where users can ask questions. There is also working coupon system, so that users can gift homepage “credits”.

Downloads

The download package includes separate folders for the Bun/Elysia backend including the DB migrations required, the React frontend code, and the replication app required for replication of the generated homepages, coupons, forum posts etc. across multiple hosts. The NGINX CORS config, BIND domain files for the replication hosts etc. have not been included.

Supporting my website

You may have noticed that this site does not display ads of any kind. I can't imagine it otherwise – it affords us some serenity. I happily renounce ad revenue, and since maintaining and adding to this website comes naturally to me, it mostly just "factors in" somehow into my freelance work. Just like it does for so many of you. But it does take time and thought and expenses.

So if you happen to be in a position where you can help my work financially ("Buy me a coffee"), then this would show solid appreciation and find my lasting gratitude!

Cómo apoyar este sitio

Quizás hayan notado que este sitio no tiene publicidad. Para mi es una decision muy clara de hacer sin anuncios, aunque eso signifique renunciar a algo de dinero. Ampliar este sitio es una actividad que disfruto, entonces se confunde con mi trabajo freelance, por bien o por mal.

Seguiría haciéndolo, por supuesto, sin contribuciones. Pero si quieren – y si les es posible – apoyar mi trabajo aquí económicamente (“Buy me a coffee”), se los agradeceré de corazón.
