on YouTube ↗54m

" summary

Wordle hits 2 million daily players with a 200 KB progressive web app — hosting that on S3 costs roughly $36 one‑time. The core claim: preserve the open protocols (IP addresses, SMTP, DNS) and prefer simple durable web primitives over closed platforms and ad‑driven tracking.
