Still early days at https://prestigemad.com (recently discussed at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27412445)

- Backend is a Django project, database is PostgreSQL.

- Frontend powered by Mithril.js and the editor by CodeMirror.

- Hosted on a $5 box on EC2.

- GoatCounter for analytics.

- CloudFlare for DNS, NameCheap for domain.

- Backend is a vanilla Go project.

- Frontend is plain HTML and CSS, I don't recall it having any JS at all.

- Hosted on the same $5 box on EC2.

- No analytics (yet).

- CloudFlare for DNS, NameCheap for domain.

It is refreshing to see how much I can squeeze out of a $5 box. I don't intend to stay with EC2 for long, but when its cheap, I'd rather spend my time improving Prestige (currently working on Gist integration).
