Host Snazzle publicly somewhere.

I think it would be easier to get this up on vercel instead of going to my computer to download and run the commands to get the repository up locally

Maybe, we'll see about that. Can Vercel host Flask projects? If not we could try Replit, the Hacker yearly plan equates to about $6.16 a month (CAD) so I can have a boosted always-on repl for Snazzle

the problem with hosting it on replit is that it can't access scratch's api (confirmation needed), so you'd have to use scratchDB. however, whenever you need to get project details, sometimes the project just isn't on scratchDB and it falls back to having no title or any other info

Vercel has an experimental Python runtime, but hosting in the cloud can be pretty inconsistent lol

You could also split up the project into an API and frontend so you can host the API on a local server while the frontend goes on GitHub Pages or something

confirmed, replit is completely* blocked from scratch's api

apart from cloud variables if logged in with a session id because why not

What about GitHub Codespaces? Never used that before, but might be worth looking into.

[EngineerRunner]

github codespaces is definitely not designed for 24/7 hosting of a web app, and it would end up costing over $130 a month for the base plan with 20gb of storage.

maybe pythonanywhere would be good? we would be able to use scratch's api (unlike on replit), and it'd only be $5/$6.61 CAD/£3.87 monthly for the Hacker plan.

The problem with this is that the frontend and backend are really closely integrated thanks to Flask. Without Flask the website doesn't function

[redstone-dev]

I actually have a computer i could host somewhere

YOU ARE THE BEST

[davidtheplatform]

I’m hosting it at snazzle.davidtheplatform.eu.org

[redstone-dev]

this is on snazzle.davidtheplatform.eu.org and snazzle-repl.redstonescratch.repl.co

[dynamixbot]

this is on snazzle.davidtheplatform.eu.org and snazzle-repl.redstonescratch.repl.co

none of them work
