I respect the spotlight on hosting your own websites, but it's not much different from the usual Vercel/Netlify/GitHub/Cloudflare static hosting.
What if I want a database, feedback form, social media previews, good SEO? Article says nothing about it. Perhaps that's what makes a website "indie"?
You have access to php and a database there.
If NFS isn't much difference from Vercel we should see 50% of people using Vercel and 50% using NFS, but we don't, they're all on Vercel - why?
NFS supports dynamic websites (giving you access to a full Linux system with many programming languages), though you’ll have to pay more.
I get your point, but I still remember that guy who got a $100k Netlify bill for his free plan.
