The inefficiency is bonkers but understandable. I could host this app for like ~$60/year, generously, with little to no devops work. It's painful to see the creator paying out of pocket for such a great project because the Vercel marketing introduced such massive inefficiencies to the ecosystem.

Even less when I pay for a dedicated machine running all of my hobby projects. Gratuitous Kamal 2 plug. Run your personal projects all on one machine.

Where would you host this for $60 a year?

I would use hosting with SSH access. I am based in Poland so we have MyDevil.net But also you can just rent VPS for 5$, but you have to care about setting everything up.

First thing I thought while reading was Firebase - it's interesting how much it would cost there.
