Coming soon: it’s going to be trivial to deploy a different app on your Small Web server. Useful if you’re a dev and you’re playing around with different apps.
(Also, notice the speed at which deployment happens. I’m one step away from implementing this in Domain using pre-warmed Kitten instances – called toasty kittens – thereby bringing the time it takes to deploy your own Small Web place down to a handful of seconds.)
This is approximately how long it takes to deploy a Small Web¹ place currently using Domain² (under a minute).
I plan on reducing that another order of magnitude to single-digit seconds by the end of the week.
(Made a recording so we can compare it afterwards.) ;)

Interesting story: did you know the Web wasn’t initially understood or embraced at CERN? It was seen as a distraction.
Here’s Robert’s video of Ben Segal – lovely human being and Tim’s mentor – showing us around CERN ~15 years ago and telling the story (see if you can spot a much younger me in shot):

“The crucial thing was the development in the USA.”
Here’s hoping Europe will do better with the Small Web.
Doesn’t look like it, though.
@aral What a travel into my past !! But he did not mention Robert.
@rigo Robert being Scoble. He was shooting the video.
@aral I meant Calliau
@rigo Ah, sorry, definitely the more relevant Robert :)
