How to stop buying domain names and actually start doing something with them
summary
Built over a 12-day break as an alternative to Partiful, the shoutoutparty site uses Flask with Flask-Frozen static build on Netlify, Twilio for SMS invites, nanoid per-invite pages, and Superblocks workflows for database lookups and state updates. A Netlify edge function injects attendee state at page load while a serverless endpoint handles RSVP updates; deploys take ~30s + 35s for plugins, SEO scores 92 despite a robots.txt block.
