Show HN: AirCSS – Distributed Asset Delivery

[albertyw]

How is this different from a regular CDN like Akamai, Cloudflare, etc.?

This is an easier approach for getting content onto a CDN. All you have to do is upload the files to the dashboard, and you are ready to go. The system provides you the markup to put in your code to use the css or js file.

AirCSS can be used alongside Cloudflare, but if someone wants an easy to use CDN that isn't limited to using Cloudflare DNS (like if they want to use nsone or another DNS provider), they can use AirCSS to easily get their files on a CDN.

DigitalOcean restricts the use of their nodes as a platform for a CDN like yours. IMO, I find the latter restriction unfair but ToS is ToS. Make sure you have a plan B.

Good luck!

Where do you see this? I seem to be missing it.

Also, no CDN server is on the DO network, just the main website.

You should add a "Why AirCSS?" section, because this is the first question people will have, given the existing alternative services.

Excellent suggestion. I'll fit that on the main page soon.

Will you allow custom domains? Do you allow SSL?
