Developer Builds 585-Page Static Site from YouTube Playlist Using Next.js and Cloudflare
A developer created a fully static website for the mobile puzzle game Food Hunt, converting a YouTube playlist of level walkthrough videos into 585 searchable, filterable level pages. The build pipeline uses yt-dlp to extract YouTube playlist metadata, parses level numbers from video titles using regex, and stores records in a Neon Postgres serverless database. Thumbnails are downloaded, converted to WebP via Pillow, and hosted on Cloudflare R2, while Next.js generates all pages at build time from local JSON snapshots. The finished site is deployed on Cloudflare Pages with no web server, no runtime database calls, and no per-page API requests. An automated weekly pipeline keeps content fresh, and SEO tooling including sitemaps and IndexNow submission is baked into the build process.
