Can someone ELI5 me what the appeal is to something like Jekyll, seems a lot easier to just setup a Posthaven account (or something similar) given you also get a WYSIWYG.
- piratebroadcast 10y agoJekyll created static websites, with no database for an attack vector. I learned this the hard way after having a few digital ocean droplets compromised, no backups, etc. Thats one advantage.
- qwertyuiop924 10y ago-Static Website -Easy config -No need to leave Emacs -Easy automation (no WYSIWYG) -Potential for a WYSIWYG if you want one (Lektor, for instance, another static site generator, provides one)
- seanwilson 10y agoFrom my point of view, you're trading ease of editing but gaining speed, security and scalability. If the only thing on the site is static files behind a CDN, it's going to be fast and hard to hack.
