Not the parent, but the way in which Bitfinex paid everyone back was extremely dodgy[0].
They also decided to help themselves to 15% of everyone's BCH after the August 1 fork[1]. I don't understand why anyone would trust them.
I've used digital ocean droplets for some things for a similar $5 a month price, but it hardly seems necessary for a static site. It's much less faffery to just upload some files to S3 and click some buttons in the AWS console to configure everything.
I also used Hugo for my site - https://testloop.co.uk
It's so simple.. and FAST. It's hosted on AWS S3 with CloudFront & Route53 so it's not free, but at a cost of around $1.20 per month, it's not far off.
It works seamlessly/automatically between protonmail users and you can also send encrypted mail to non-protonmail users - they receive a link via email that they need a password to access.
You can also export your PGP public key and receive encrypted email from anyone else too.
This drives me absolutely crazy. If I'm forced towards downloading your app I'll simply go elsewhere. Its ridiculous to expect your users to download a 126MB app (Tripadvisor's current iOS app size) and grant it all sorts of permissions just so they can search for a hotel once a year.
