nostr:npub1q3sle0kvfsehgsuexttt3ugjd8xdklxfwwkh559wxckmzddywnws6cd26p on the mkstack homepage it says "One command deployment with Surge".

Oops thanks for the heads up! We used to deploy with Surge but we've switched to Nostr-native hosting now with NostrDeploy.com. I'll update the website!

There is a NIP proposal for Static Websites hosted on Blossom Servers and Nostr Relays:

So, NostrDeploy.com implements this NIP:

One can simply deploy their sites with a single command using nostr-deploy-cli:
Awesome, thanks!
