Most modern platforms require megabytes of JS hydration just to show text. Deadlight sends raw semantic HTML from Cloudflare's edge using D1 (SQLite). It’s readable in `lynx` or on a 300-baud terminal.
*The Stack:* - Cloudflare Workers (Compute) - D1 (Storage) - Zero client-side JS (for readers)
*The Lock-in Question:* Building on proprietary edge infra is a risk. I included an "Eject" script that dumps the remote D1 DB to a local SQLite file and generates a docker-compose file, so you can self-host/migrate off Cloudflare instantly if needed.
I just released a CLI launcher (`npx create-deadlight-blog`) if you want to spin up an instance to test the latency.
Happy to answer questions about the architecture or the LoRa integration I'm working on.
