- venning 11y agoThis throws an invalid SSL cert warning on Android Chrome. NET::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID
- hperl 11y agoTheir certificate is signed by a trusted CA, but they forgot to ship the intermediate certificate. I always test my domains with Quals SSL server test: https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=staticman.net https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=staticman.net There are a couple of other issues with their SSL setup. I also recommend Mozilla's SSL config generator: https://mozilla.github.io/server-side-tls/ssl-config-generator/ https://mozilla.github.io/server-side-tls/ssl-config-generat...
- eduardoboucas 11y agoMy bad. Will look into this. Thanks!
- reubano 11y agoI love the idea. I'm a fan of static sites but always dreaded having to rely on disqus and the like. Any chance you plan to open source this?
- eduardoboucas 11y agoThanks! Nothing against making it open source, no.
- anilgulecha 11y agoBut are you considering opening this up?
- brbsix 11y agoIf you don't prefer a third-party comments system for whatever, you can always host your own and insert it in your static site the same as you would with Disqus. I was considering doing this for a while and found React has a pretty good tutorial https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/tutorial.html https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/tutorial.html
- higon 11y agoWanted to try out a bit. But approving a permission request for "read/write all the Github PRIVATE repository" and "read/WRITE all the my info." is alarmingly risky... And this site itself is not even open-sourced? hmmm.
- eduardoboucas 11y agoI admit that sucks a bit, but unfortunately the GitHub API doesn't offer per-repository scopes. I'll have to think of a better way, maybe Staticman could be a bot that you give access to on a specific repo.
- metachris 11y agoSpam detection of some sort would be a necessity.
- eduardoboucas 11y agoAgree! Definitely something I need to look into. Thanks.
- reilly3000 11y agoThis definitely looks malicious. Is the business model controlling everybody's repos??
- eduardoboucas 11y agoNot really my plan, no. Sorry it looks malicious to you.
- kristopolous 11y agoThe definition of 'static' here I think may be a little different. It appears you are repurposing technologies to effectively be a database which aren't considered a database (at least in this context) in order to dynamically generate content in the users browser on the fly. So templated dynamic html from a "database" is a fine architecture, but not what most people I think would call "static". A "static" system would be more like Doxygen where the content is "compiled" into straight html/css pages
- antocv 11y agoI like this.
- jfim 11y agoSo now we've come full circle to what Movable Type did over a decade ago (static generation based on contents stored in a database)?
- gadders 11y agoOr CityDesk from Fog Creek 14 years ago: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000010.html http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000010.html
- reubano 11y agoDid those software support user content such as comments? Also, from my understanding, this project relies on flat files and not a db. So you could essentially eliminate the need for any http requests.
- jfim 11y agoMovable Type supported user comments as well as trackbacks and pingbacks.
- fenollp 11y agoIs it possible to OAuth on GitHub from the static site, have a nice form there that creates a pull request on this repo, then travis validates it? Makes up for Wiki, comments, user login, …
