Have a look at this: https://blog.cloudflare.com/announcing-amp-real-url/

Cloudflare allow using of same domain to use AMP. In this case, content is served from Cloudflare CDN.

Note the Cloudflare hosted AMP pages still mandate AMP requirements, like including a Google controlled JS uri in your content. Signing is moot if you allow Google to run arbitrary JS on your content. They haven't abused it yet, but it's allowed by spec. Subresource integrity isn't mandated, explained, or recommended.

It's called Signed Exchange and it's the same thing the comment you replied to is about.

On: India bans TikTok, WeChat, and dozens of other Chinese apps

[esafwan]

This looks mostly like gimmick PR stunt to cover the recent setback India had with China in the border. For example see this news from a channel that supports govt. shorturl.at/acjoM This is not a comedy show, its a real prime time new show.

If India was serious about taking action it would have done something about the Chinese branded phone and Chinese infra project. All the largest phone brands in India are chinese. Same is true for Tv's. All unicorn startups in the country has considerable chinese interest. This ban carefully stays away from all apps, businesses and things that could really invite a response from China.

And it worked. As in the link above, Modi's followed have taken the bait. They are happy and all over social media celebrating this as a fitting reply for the soldiers life lost in the border.

Really cool. If embraced by other browsers this can have good impact in iot space.

On: Why we chose Vue.js

[esafwan]

I had a look at Vue after a long time and then weex a react native alternative using Vue.js instead of Reactjs. Backed by Alibaba and actively developed it looked really good. But a look at issues made me a bit afraid to use it. The primary language used for discussion, suggestions etc is chinese. Documentation however is available in english.

On: Angular 1.x Banned from Firefox Addons

[esafwan]

That suddenly makes Angular look scary for some clients. vulnerability that is known to an entity/entities but unknown to the Angular developers or contributors....

[codedokode → esafwan]

The vulnerability occurs only if you inject Angular into a web page from browser extension in some browsers. There is no vulnerability if you are writing a SPA using Angular.

Being founder of a startup, I often get into position as this. I think there is alot for founders too to learn form this small story. Thanks for sharing.

I am not sure if you have considered this already. Put Cloudflare in front of your site and write a page rule to cache html too. You server will hardly get any hit for cachable pages(which i believe most of your pages are) and then enable always online feature. All the best. :)
