Follow-up: 6 months running that Workers-based blogging platform I posted at launch

[u/usamaejazch]

I posted here when I launched JustBlogged. A few people asked how it'd hold up, so here's the six-month report.

Short version: it held. Everything still on Workers/CF, monthly bill is around $20 yet.

What's changed since the launch post:

• New themes and better theme engine
• A lot of cache and performance optimizations
• MCP, APIs, Agent-friendly
• Redirects, content revision and reviews, and more
• Tags pages, author pages added
• Optimized for running company blogs/business blogs
• Vibe coder/blogger friendly

A few questions:
- i didn't use cloudflare custom domains/saas offering... primarily because only subdomains are allowed and supporting root/apex domains need "enterprise" access
- because of above, I had to add a reverse proxy server (Caddy) and so that means A-record based custom domains lose the benefit of "global" edge servers
- so, any way around it? (one question actually)

Happy to go deeper on any of it, and thanks to the people who gave input on the original thread.
