Can some1 ELI5 ?
I've used nostrsites.com to host websites before. I posted HTML as a note and pasted the note ID into nostrsites.
Nostrsites displayed the note as a webaite.

Hostr handle it a bit differently, it let you have more than one file (one file = one event/note) and have custom format for HTML, CSS and JS.
Nostrsite has a cool CDN option, but I still prefer Hostr since it let me build complete web apps as I'd do in production.

From what I've seen you can use only html, you can probably put css and js in it but it's not the best way to make a website or web app.
It from the source code of nostrsite It also seem to manipulate the html to inject code from CDN, and they are behind a pro plan, not a bad thing per se, but you're limited with what you're allowed to use.
What is bad though is that it uses kind: 1 for the code. It'll spam the feed on normal clients with HTML note on the relay.

With a terminal client you can take a folder of a static website or app (made only with HTML, CSS and JavaScript) and store those files as notes on some relays, the webserver then fetch those notes and show them as files the browser show as a website using said nostr relays as storage.
You can also host a webserver yourself using the source code.

There's also some other on nostr if you search for "hostr.cc", here's a couple of them:

Wait, are you using javascript too?
reply
I didn't make those but yes, HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

How fast are the hosting? I always considered Nostr kinda slow, specially certain relays.
reply
From what I saw it relies only on its own relay for fetching content, but I'm not sure.
