It can be fun!\n\nSome folks have set up their own self-hosted AMAs on their own websites:\n[Mikkel Malmberg](https://mikkelmalmberg.com/ama)'s is one of my favorites. My\n[website](https://macwright.com/) could use one, but I keep things\n[super simple](https://macwright.com/2019/02/06/how-to-blog) over there so the\nlittle bit of data storage & CRUD involved in an AMA is too much for me.\n\nSo this val does it, and you can make it your own!\n\n## Make it your own\n\nClick **Remix** in the top right and that'll make a copy of this val in your\naccount. Then click on `ama.tsx` and see where it has my name & web address, and\nreplace those with your own.\n\nThen you probably want a nicer URL - with `ama.tsx` open, you should have that\nweb preview on the right side of the screen (or the bottom if you have a small\nscreen) - click the pencil icon to the right of the URL and select a nicer\nsubdomain. For me, I chose `tmcw-ama`. Then you'll get a nice subdomain that you\ncan copy with the copy button next to that button.\n\nAnd then you're pretty much ready to go!",[148],"58fe1d02-42e1-11f0-bdaf-76b3cceeab13","static","5838b148-42e1-11f0-82f8-76b3cceeab13",69,["D",1749219607650],1,"directory",[156],"pulls",0,"branches","forks",8,"envVars",{"_172":164,"_174":164},"connections",{"_172":164,"_173":164},"count","unfilledCount","emptyCount",{"_44":155,"_32":156,"_30":157,"_137":-5,"_42":43,"_41":158,"_139":61,"_39":200,"_13":160,"_34":161,"_36":-5,"_24":25,"_144":-5,"_181":201,"_27":202},{"_44":196,"_32":38,"_30":31,"_137":157,"_42":43,"_41":14,"_139":25,"_39":197,"_13":160,"_34":35,"_36":37,"_24":25,"_144":-5,"_181":198,"_27":199},{"_44":187,"_32":188,"_30":189,"_137":157,"_42":43,"_41":190,"_139":25,"_39":191,"_13":192,"_34":20,"_36":193,"_24":25,"_144":-5,"_181":194,"_27":195},{"_44":147,"_32":148,"_30":149,"_137":-5,"_42":43,"_41":150,"_139":25,"_39":184,"_13":152,"_34":20,"_36":153,"_24":25,"_144":-5,"_181":185,"_27":186},{"_44":135,"_32":136,"_30":59,"_137":-5,"_42":43,"_41":138,"_139":25,"_39":180,"_13":141,"_34":142,"_36":143,"_24":25,"_144":145,"_181":182,"_27":183},["D",1749243953944],"children",[],[136],["D",1749223037610],[],[148],"2baedf88-431a-11f0-b785-76b3cceeab13","style.css","170cac84-42e0-11f0-8857-76b3cceeab13",210,["D",1749244012948],65,"body
