Summary:
Wildcard domains unlock the ability to build platforms that scale. With zero-configuration, you're able to provide your customers with a personalized space on your host domain. If you haven't already read our blog post, then start there. This project is a fun and simple demonstration of wildcard domains where you are able to claim a page under any subdomain if its available and retain edit rights via a unique session identifier. Please feel free to raise issues, and send PRs where you may have questions or feel like bits of code can be improved!
Technologies:
- FaunaDB: high-performance, low-latency, and serverless persistence of page data, and session identifiers
- Twilio Sendgrid: dead simple programmatic email service for sending unique session links
- Pusher Channels: globally distributed and managed WebSocket infrastructure for broadcasting real-time updates when saving pages
- Simple Analytics: simple, clean, and friendly analytics for keeping track of page views
- Sentry: pleasant bug tracking for runtime errors and edge cases that we may not discover during development

Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
