Email is good.

I just mentioned I picked up coyier.com and used Fastmail with it.

I’m not really sure yet what my overall plans for it will be, so for now, I just pointed the nameservers entirely at Fastmail. It just felt easier than changing MX records only or whatever.

But because I did that, that means web traffic for coyier.com goes to Fastmail too, which served up a very generic “Not Found” (this website doesn’t exist) page. Which is too bad but understandable.

I literally thought to myself… maybe Fastmail does websites? Somehow?

I web searched for the idea and they do.

So I figured I’d play with it (I streamed it, subscribe on Twitch), and I saved the video here:

I ended up just making a Pen on CodePen quick, exporting the HTML and CSS, then uploading it to Fastmails “Files” feature, which is what powers their static websites. The feature is extremely bare-bones, but hey, it works.

Once we launch proper deployment on CodePen 2.0 I’ll have CodePen host it of course, which means I’ll need to deal with those MX records and all that, which is fine.
