Haha that's awesome! It was such a good idea – I personally use that feature all the time.

One of my main motivators for building FoodNoms (I'm the indie app creator) is to offer something that allows people to not have to worry about how their data is being used or shared. No ads and no account/username/email/password/etc. Food diary data and goal metadata are all stored on your personal iCloud account.

I'm the independent app developer building FoodNoms. Thanks for the shout out and I'm really glad you're enjoying the app.
The app is truly a labor of love and it means a lot when I hear others are getting value out of it. If you or anyone has any feedback regarding the app, I'd greatly appreciate it.

I made something similar several months ago. Here’s the HN front page in the style of digg.com: https://rigg.now.sh/

I absolutely <3 CodeSandbox. I’ve been using CodeSandbox for the past six months or so and it’s been a game changer for two things: (1) onsite frontend interviews - no more waiting for npm installs or worrying about node compatibility and (2) quick create-react-app prototypes - and if I get far enough, I simply download the source and continue to work locally.

Thanks! Great questions. I’m not 100% confident about supporting static generation and Discus integration with Ghost 1.0, although I imagine it’s feasible. That said, I’m personally not interested in pursuing either for my own blog at this time. Maybe in the future.

I definitely think there's demand for solutions like this. I probably would like this even better if it worked on top of an existing static-site generator platform like Jekyll or Gatsby.
I just wrote about immutable deployments with Ghost 1.0, which is also open source (MIT licensed), and how that can be a nice compromise between static sites and hosted CMSes: https://ryanashcraft.me/ghost-and-now/
I might've tried Publii out if I had heard about it beforehand, but right now I'm really happy with the entire Ghost editing and consumption experience I've set up (thanks to the Ghost and Zeit teams).

Yeah server-side rendering hasn't been a focus for us. Currently, I don't think it is a great solution for server-side-rendered apps. I'm not exactly sure how much it would take to improve things here.
If you have any thoughts around multiple requests or server-side rendering feel free to submit an issue on Github to discuss! https://github.com/amplitude/redux-query/issues
