"With Halloween a few weeks away, it's officially spooky season. My wife and I usually plan our costumes months in advance (mine's been ready since July or so) and we love decorating the house (and yard) with all kind of fun and darkly horrific decorations. Two years ago, I built a great Halloween-themed web app using Glitch and Cloudflare: I Know What You Did Last Summer (With Glitch and Cloudflare) Unfortunately, Glitch is no more."
"Initially I only considered val.town as a cool serverless host, but you can host complete web apps there as well. Their home page cheekily refer to themselves as "Zapier for know-code engineers", which I just love. They've got a generous free tier so you can test things out. If you want to learn more, check out their docs and signup. (Tell em I sent you. For every 500 referrals I get a brownie point!)"
A couple prepares costumes and decor for Halloween and builds themed web projects. A previous Halloween web app used Glitch and Cloudflare but required migration when Glitch shut down. val.town was chosen as an alternative platform that supports serverless functions and full web apps, offers a generous free tier, and frames itself as "Zapier for know-code engineers." The web app uses a Markov chain generator to produce humorous horror movie titles seeded from a list of horror movies obtained via the TMDB API. Generated titles are often nonsensical, adding to the playful experience. Examples include titles like "Popeye's Body" and "A Quiet Place: Welcome to Zombie Island."
