Ask HN: What cool stuff do you run free-tier?
Thanks mate. I wanted to build a no nonsense site and think I've achieved my goals for the time allotted for a weekend project.
The architecture is dead simple. Multiple times a week IMDb publishes bare bones datasets. I've a bash script to download them, format and load into MySQL from which I export two types of json files:
1) a file with all the TV shows names, id, ratings etc (shows.json) - this is what's used for search. It weighs 2MB compressed and I could certainly optimize but considering the low traffic I've stashed it for later time.
2) A file for every tv show with all the ratings and votes for its episodes. Based on your search, the specific file will be fetched to display ratings. This one file per show could also be optimized but looks premature at this stage.
You can see them here: https://github.com/dvnlgls/theshowgrid/tree/gh-pages/assets
Strictly speaking, a database is also not necessary but it serves 2 purposes: 1) I could query easily to satisfy some curious show related questions. 2) The datasets include a ton of stale data (like shows w/o episodes and vice versa), so I find it easier to cleanup through SQL.

The Small Website Discoverability Crisis
Neocities has taken steps to try to improve small personal web site discoverability, which ends up being like a platform for people making web sites with a hybrid social component https://neocities.org
I like the idea of calling this the small web, I usually go with something like "personal web site" or "home pages" but it's never quite stuck for me. I hope they've added Neocities to the Kagi small web search because there's some pretty incredible sites available for that: https://neocities.org/browse

Ask HN: Is there a list of non-monetised, non-closed-ecosystem websites?
Some possibilities:
HN profiles, Gemini, and Web rings too.
Mailing lists for projects you may follow¹ could have people's signatures for their personal website.
