It's still insane to me how easy this has become for side projects. This was about an hour of work!16 Apr 2026 08:58 +0000at://did:plc:cpixmtoqs6opsfmfmbrokk5y/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjm27ohlhx25https://bsky.app/profile/lucvandonkersgoed.com/post/3mjk6nbdkgn26Do you think The AWS News Feed looks like crap? Personally, I do. And I don't have the skills to do better - so now I'm talking to a design agency to create a proper UI/UX design! But real quality costs real money, and the feed is (and will remain!) free to use. So I'm looking for sponsors!

It has full NFS compatibility, and uses an actual EFS storage layer for active files.
